1. A waveguide system, comprising:

  • a guided wave generation circuit that facilitates generation of first electromagnetic waves;

    a coupler that facilitates propagation of at least a portion of the first electromagnetic waves on an outer surface of the coupler to induce second electromagnetic waves that propagate along an outer surface of a transmission medium, the transmission medium further conducting a first power signal and a second power signal; and

    a power management system that facilitates delivery of power to the guided wave generation circuit by obtaining energy from the first power signal which has a first operating frequency that differs from a second operating frequency of the second power signal.
