1. A method, comprising:

  • coupling a receiving structure to a lossy conducting medium; and

    mode-matching the receiving structure with a guided surface wave established on the lossy conducting medium, where a traveling wave phase delay (Φ

    ) of the receiving structure is matched to a wave tilt angle (Ψ

    ) associated with the guided surface wave, the wave tilt angle (Ψ

    ) based at least in part upon characteristics of the lossy conducting medium in a vicinity of the receiving structure.
