1. A waveguide system, comprising:
- a first launcher that facilitates generating first electromagnetic waves; and
a second launcher that facilitates generating second electromagnetic waves, the first electromagnetic waves and the second electromagnetic waves having a first phase and a second phase respectively,wherein the first electromagnetic waves and the second electromagnetic waves induce a combined electromagnetic wave guided by a transmission medium and having a non-optical frequency range,wherein at least one of the first launcher or the second launcher further facilitates adjusting an orientation of a field pattern of the combined electromagnetic wave to reposition the field pattern to an adjusted position about a surface of the transmission medium,wherein the adjusting is responsive to detecting a condition that causes the combined electromagnetic wave to experience a propagation loss, andwherein the adjusted position of the field pattern of the combined electromagnetic wave reduces the propagation loss caused by the condition.
