1. A method, comprising:

  • generating first electromagnetic waves, by a first waveguide system having a first plurality of circuits;

    generating second electromagnetic waves, by a second waveguide system having a second plurality of circuits; and

    wherein the first electromagnetic waves and the second electromagnetic waves are directed to an interface of a transmission medium to induce a third electromagnetic wave, wherein the third electromagnetic wave propagates along a surface of the transmission medium without utilizing an electrical return path, and wherein the third electromagnetic wave has a non-fundamental wave mode and a non-optical operating frequency.
