1. A method comprising:

  • generating an electromagnetic wave to convey data in accordance with a non-fundamental mode having an electromagnetic (EM) field pattern with a local minimum at an azimuthal orientation; and

    coupling the electromagnetic wave to propagate, via the non-fundamental mode and without requiring an electrical return path, along a transmission medium so as to align the azimuthal orientation of the local minimum at a desired orientation with respect to the transmission medium.
