Referring now to Fig. 3, the figure schematic diagram 300 of the example, non-limiting embodiment of diagram magnetic distribution is shown.?
In the present embodiment, the transmission medium 125 in air includes the insulating sheath 302 of inner conductor 301 and dielectric substance, such as with cross
Shown in section.Schematic diagram 300 includes the difference for indicating to be generated by the propagation of the guided wave with asymmetric and non-fundamental wave guided wave mode
The different grey-scale of electromagnetic field intensity.
Specifically, magnetic distribution corresponds to mode " most effective point (sweet spot) ", and the most effective point of mode increases
It is strong to be propagated along the guided electromagnetic wave of dielectric transmission medium and reduce end-to-end transmission loss.Under this AD HOC,
Electromagnetic wave is guided by transmission medium 125 so as to along the outer surface of transmission medium --- and it is in this case insulating sheath 302
Outer surface propagated.Electromagnetic wave is partly embedded in insulator and partly on the outer surface of insulator and radiates.
By this method, electromagnetic wave " light " is coupled to insulator to enable to carry out Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in distant location with low propagation loss.
As shown, guided wave, which has, is primarily or essentially located at outside the transmission medium 125 for guide electromagnetic waves
Field structure.Region inside conductor 301 has seldom field or does not have field.Equally, the region inside insulating sheath 302 has low field
By force.The major part of electromagnetic field intensity is distributed over the outer surface of insulating sheath 302 and the lobe 304 very close with it
In.The presence of asymmetric guided wave mode by insulating sheath 302 outer surface top and bottom high electromagnetic field intensity other show
Out (in the orientation of schematic diagram) --- it is opposite with the very small field strength on the side of insulating sheath 302.
Shown in example correspond to by diameter be 1.1cm conducting wire and with a thickness of 0.36cm dielectric guide
The electromagnetic wave of 38GHz.Because electromagnetic wave is guided by transmission medium 125, and most of field strength is concentrated in the limited of outer surface
In the air of the outside of insulating sheath 302 in distance, so guided wave can be vertical along transmission medium 125 with low-down loss
It is propagated to downward.In shown example, this " limited distance " with and outer surface be apart less than the maximum cross of transmission medium 125
The distance of the half of cross-sectional dimension is corresponding.In this case, the maximum cross section dimension of conducting wire is corresponding to the whole of 1.82cm
Body diameter, however, this value can change with the size and shape of transmission medium 125.For example, if transmission medium 125 is adopted
With a height of 0.3cm and rectangular shape that width is 0.4cm, then the diagonal line of maximum cross section dimension will be 0.5cm, and corresponding
Limited distance will be 0.25cm.The dimension in the region comprising most of field strength changes also as frequency, and usually with load
The reduction of wave frequency rate and increase.
It should also be noted that the component (such as coupler and transmission medium) of guided wave communication system is directed to every kind of guided wave mould
Formula can have the cutoff frequency of their own.Cutoff frequency generally illustrates specific guided wave mode and is designed to by that particular portion
The low-limit frequency that part is supported.In the exemplary embodiment, specific non-shown by being generated on transmission medium 125 by electromagnetic wave
Symmetric propagation mode, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave fall in the limited range of the lower-cut-off frequency Fc of this specific asymmetric mode
(in such as Fc to 2Fc).Characteristic of the lower-cut-off frequency Fc specific to transmission medium 125.For it is shown include being insulated
The embodiment for the inner conductor 301 that sheath 302 surrounds, this cutoff frequency can dimension based on insulating sheath 302 and property with
And potentially the dimension and property of inner conductor 301 and change, and can be determined experimentally as that there is desired mode
Pattern.It should be noted, however, that similar effect can be found by being directed to hollow dielectric or insulator without inner conductor
Fruit.In this case, cutoff frequency can dimension based on hollow dielectric or insulator and characteristic and change.
In the frequency lower than lower-cut-off frequency, asymmetric mode is difficult to induct in transmission medium 125, and can only
Propagate inappreciable distance.As frequency increases on the limited frequency range about cutoff frequency, asymmetric mode is got over
To be displaced to the inside of insulating sheath 302 more.In the frequency much larger than cutoff frequency, field strength no longer concentrates on insulation shield
Set is external, but mainly in the inside of insulating sheath 302.Although transmission medium 125 for electromagnetic wave provide it is stronger guidance and
Propagation be still it is possible, but range due to the propagation in insulating sheath 302 it is increased loss and be more restricted --- with
The air of surrounding is opposite.
Referring now to Fig. 4, the figure schematic diagram 400 of the example, non-limiting embodiment of diagram magnetic distribution is shown.Tool
Body, diagrammatic cross-sectional view 400 similar with Fig. 3 is shown with the common reference numerals for referring to similar components.What is shown shows
Example corresponds to the wave of the 60GHz guided by conducting wire of the diameter for 1.1cm and the dielectric with a thickness of 0.36cm.Because leading
The frequency of wave is higher than the limited range of the cutoff frequency of this specific asymmetric mode, so the major part of field strength is protected to insulation
Cover 302 internal blases.Specifically, field strength is concentrated mainly on the inside of insulating sheath 302.Although transmission medium 125 is to electromagnetic wave
It provides stronger guidance and to propagate is still possible, but when compared with the embodiment with Fig. 3, range is due to insulating sheath
Propagation in 302 and increased loss and be more restricted.
Referring now to Fig. 5 A, the figure schematic diagram of the example, non-limiting embodiment of diagram frequency response is shown.Specifically,
Schematic diagram 500 presents the curve graph of the end-to-end loss (as unit of dB) of the function as frequency, is covered in 200cm insulation
Press the magnetic distribution 510,520 and 530 at three points of conducting wire.In each magnetic distribution, insulator and surrounding air
Between boundary indicated by appended drawing reference 525.
As discussed in association with figure 3, the shown asymmetric biography of expectation is generated on transmission medium 125 by electromagnetic wave
The example of mode is broadcast, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave falls in the lower-cut-off frequency of the transmission medium for this specific asymmetric mode
The limited range of Fc is (in such as Fc to 2Fc).Specifically, it is " most effective to fall in this mode for the magnetic distribution 520 at 6GHz
In point ", the most effective point of mode enhances the Electromagnetic Wave Propagation along dielectric transmission medium and reduces end-to-end transmission
Loss.Under this AD HOC, waveguiding portion it is embedded in and is radiated on the outer surface of insulator in the insulator and partly.
By this method, electromagnetic wave " light " is coupled to insulator to enable to carry out guided electromagnetic wave biography in distant location with low propagation loss
It broadcasts.
Under the more low frequency that the magnetic distribution 510 under by 3GHz indicates, asymmetric mode radiation is more, to generate
Higher propagation loss.Under the higher frequency that the magnetic distribution 530 under by 9GHz indicates, asymmetric mode is more and more
To insulating sheath internal blas, to provide excessive absorption, higher propagation loss is produced again.
Referring now to Fig. 5 B, the example for showing the longitudinal cross-section of diagram transmission medium 125 (such as insulated conductor) is non-
The figure schematic diagram 550 of restricted embodiment is depicted at the guided electromagnetic wave field under multiple and different operating frequencies.Such as schematic diagram
Shown in 556, when guided electromagnetic wave is generally in cutoff frequency (f corresponding with mode " most effective point "c) under when, lead
Row electromagnetic wave is loosely coupled to insulated conductor, reduces so that absorbing, and the field of guided electromagnetic wave is fully limited
To reduce the amount being radiated in environment (for example, air).Due to the absorption and lower, the propagation loss of radiation of guided electromagnetic wave field
Therefore lower, so that guided electromagnetic wave field energy enough propagates longer distance.
As shown in schematic diagram 554, when the operating frequency of guided electromagnetic wave field increases to approximately twice as cutoff frequency
(fc) more than --- or when being referred to as the range of " most effective point " or more, propagation loss increases.More field strength of electromagnetic wave exist
It is driven in insulating layer, increases propagation loss.Than cutoff frequency (fc) under much higher frequency, due to by guided electromagnetic wave
The field of transmitting concentrates in the insulating layer of conducting wire, therefore guided electromagnetic wave is restricted to by force insulated conductor, as shown in schematic diagram 552
Out.This absorbs guided electromagnetic wave further as insulating layer in turn and produces propagation loss.Similarly, work as guided electromagnetic wave
Operating frequency be substantially less than cutoff frequency (fc) when, propagation loss increases, as shown in schematic diagram 558.Than cut-off
Frequency (fc) under much lower frequency, guided electromagnetic wave is restricted to insulated conductor by weak (or minimally (nominally)),
And thus tend to be radiated in environment (for example, air), this produces propagation damage due to the radiation of guided electromagnetic wave in turn
Consumption.
Referring now to Fig. 6, the figure schematic diagram 600 of the example, non-limiting embodiment of diagram magnetic distribution is shown.?
In the present embodiment, transmission medium 602 is bare conductor, as being illustrated in cross-section.Schematic diagram 300 includes indicating symmetrical and non-by having
The guided wave of fundamental wave guided wave mode propagates the different grey-scale of different electromagnetic field intensity generated under single carrier frequency.
Under this AD HOC, electromagnetic wave is guided by transmission medium 602 so as to along the outer surface of transmission medium ---
It is propagated in this case for the outer surface of bare conductor.Electromagnetic wave " light " be coupled to conducting wire so as to enable distant location with
Low propagation loss carries out Electromagnetic Wave Propagation.As shown, guided wave has transmission Jie being located substantially on for guide electromagnetic waves
Field structure outside matter 602.Region inside conductor 602 has seldom field or does not have field.
Referring now to Fig. 7, the block diagram 700 of the example, non-limiting embodiment of diagram arc coupler is shown.Specifically,
Present Coupling device used in the equal transmission devices of transmission device 101 or 102 for being presented in conjunction with Fig. 1.Coupling
Equipment includes the arc coupler 704 for being coupled to transmitter circuit 712 and termination or damper 714.Arc coupler 704 can be with
It is made of dielectric substance or other low-loss and insulating bodies (for example, Teflon, polyethylene etc.) or by conductive (for example, gold
Belong to, is nonmetallic etc.) material is made or any combination of previous materials.As shown, arc coupler 704 is used as waveguide
It is operated, and there is the wave 706 propagated around the waveguide surface of arc coupler 704 as guided wave.Shown
In embodiment out, at least part of arc coupler 704 can be placed on conducting wire 702 or other transmission mediums (such as pass
Defeated medium 125) near, to promote the coupling between arc coupler 704 and conducting wire 702 or other transmission mediums, such as herein
It is described to emit guided wave 708 on conducting wire.Arc coupler 704 may be positioned so that curved arc coupler
704 a part is tangent and parallel or substantially parallel with conducting wire 702.Arc coupler 704 it is parallel with conducting wire described in
Part can be the vertex of curve or be the curve near tangent any point parallel with conducting wire 702.When 704 quilt of arc coupler
So positioning or when placing, the wave 706 that arcuately coupler 704 is advanced at least partly is coupled to conducting wire 702, and as leading
Wave 708 is propagated around the conductive line surfaces of conducting wire 702 or nearby and longitudinally along conducting wire 702.Guided wave 708 can be characterized as being
Surface wave guides or is restricted to the conducting wire or other electromagnetism of other transmission mediums by conducting wire 702 or other transmission mediums
Wave.
A part that wave 706 is not coupled to conducting wire 702 is propagated as the wave 710 of arcuately coupler 704.It should
It is appreciated that arc coupler 704 can be configured and arranged in various positions about conducting wire 702, to realize
Wave 706 arrives the coupling or non-coupled of the aspiration level of conducting wire 702.For example, the arc coupling parallel or substantially parallel with conducting wire 702
(in embodiment, this may include zero interval for the curvature and/or length of clutch 704 and its spacing distance for arriving the conducting wire
Distance) it can change without departing substantially from example embodiment.Equally, arc coupler 704 can about the arrangement of conducting wire 702
With based on to conducting wire 702 and arc coupler 704 correspondence inherent characteristic (for example, thickness, form, electromagnetic property etc.) and
The considerations of characteristic (for example, frequency, energy water equality) of wave 706 and 708 and change.
Even in the bending of conducting wire 702 and buckling, guided wave 708 still keeps parallel or substantially parallel with conducting wire 702.Conducting wire
Bending in 702 can increase transmission loss, and transmission loss additionally depends on diameter of wire, frequency and material.If in order to efficient
Power conveying and select the dimension of arc coupler 704, then most of power in wave 706 is transported to conducting wire 702, in wave
Remaining power is seldom in 710.It is to be appreciated that guided wave 708 substantially still can be the (described herein of multi-mode
), including advance with non-fundamental wave or asymmetrical mode, while along the path parallel or substantially parallel with conducting wire 702,
With or without fundamental wave transmission mode.In embodiment, non-fundamental mode or asymmetric mode can be used for minimizing transmission
It is lost and/or obtains increased propagation distance.
It should be noted that term " parallel " is usually geometrical construction, it in systems in practice often can not be accurately real
Existing.Correspondingly, when being used to describe embodiment disclosed in the disclosure, the term such as used in the disclosure is " parallel " to be indicated
Approximate rather than accurate configuration.In embodiment, substantially parallel may include in all dimensions at really parallel 30 degree
Interior approximation.
In embodiment, wave 706 can show one or more wave propagation modes.The arc coupler patterns can be with
Shape and/or design depending on coupler 704.One or more arc coupler patterns of wave 706 can be generated, shadow
Ring or impact the one or more wave propagation modes for the guided wave 708 propagated along conducting wire 702.However, it should be noted that leading
Guided wave mode present in wave 706 can be identical or different with the guided wave mode of guided wave 708.By this method, one kind of guided wave 706
Or a variety of guided wave modes can not be transported to guided wave 708, and further, one or more guided wave modes of guided wave 708
May not yet exist in guided wave 706.It should also be noted that the cut-off of the arc coupler 704 for specific guided wave mode
Frequency may be different from the cutoff frequency that conducting wire 702 or other transmission mediums are directed to same mode.For example, conducting wire 702 or its
His transmission medium can be with when slightly above it is operated for the cutoff frequency of specific guided wave mode, arc coupler 704 can
To be directed to this same mould to be slightly below it to be operable to reduce loss for the cutoff frequency of same mode much higher than it
The cutoff frequency of formula is operable to for example induct bigger coupling and power Transmission, or to be directed to this with arc coupler
Some related other point of the cutoff frequency of mode are operated.
In embodiment, the wave propagation mode on conducting wire 702 can be similar to arc coupler patterns, because of 706 He of wave
Both 708 are propagated in the exterior circumferential of arc coupler 704 and conducting wire 702 respectively.In some embodiments, when wave 706
When being coupled to conducting wire 702, due to the coupling between arc coupler 704 and conducting wire 702, the mode can change form, or
The new mode of person can be created or generate.For example, the size of arc coupler 704 and conducting wire 702, material and/or impedance
Difference can create the additional modes being not present in arc coupler patterns and/or can inhibit some arc coupler patterns.
Wave propagation mode may include fundamental wave transversal electromagnetic mode (quasi- TEM00), wherein only lesser electric field and/or magnetic field are in propagation side
It upwardly extends, and electric and magnetic fields extend radially outwardly while guided wave is along wire spread.This guided wave mode can be
Annular, wherein seldom it is present in arc coupler 704 or conducting wire 702 in these electromagnetic fields.
Wave 706 and 708 may include the fundamental wave TEM mode that field extends radially outwardly, and further include other non-fundamental wave (examples
Such as, asymmetrical, more advanced etc.) mode.Although specific wave propagation mode is discussed above, it is based on used frequency

Bandgap wavelength, arc coupler 704 are supported to constitute the unicast waveguide mode of wave 706.This unicast waveguide mode can be at it as guided wave
708 changes when being coupled to conducting wire 702.If arc coupler 704 is bigger, more than one waveguide mode can be supported, still
These additional waveguide modes possibly equally can not efficiently be coupled to conducting wire 702, and may cause higher coupling loss.
But in some alternative embodiments, the diameter of arc coupler 704 can be equal to or more than the diameter of conducting wire 702, for example,
In the place of the higher coupling loss of expectation or when being combined to otherwise reduce coupling loss with other technologies
(for example, carrying out impedance matching, etc. by being tapered).
In embodiment, the wavelength of wave 706 and 708 is dimensionally suitable, or is less than arc coupler 704 and conducting wire
702 perimeter.In this example, if the corresponding perimeter of diameter and about 1.5cm of the conducting wire 702 with 0.5cm, is transmitted
Wavelength is about 1.5cm or smaller, corresponding to 70GHz or bigger frequency.In another embodiment, transmission and carrier signal
Suitable frequency in the range of 30GHz to 100GHz, it may be possible to about 30GHz to 60GHz, and be big in one example
About 38GHz.In embodiment, when the perimeter of arc coupler 704 and conducting wire 702 is dimensionally equivalent to or greater than transmission wave
When long, wave 706 and 708 can be shown enough apart from upper propagation to support the more of various communication systems described herein
Wave propagation mode, including fundamental wave and/or non-fundamental wave (symmetrical and/or asymmetric) mode.Therefore, wave 706 and 708 may include more
It is configured in a type of electrically and magnetically field.In embodiment, when guided wave 708 is propagated along conducting wire 702, electrically and magnetically field configuration will be from
One end of conducting wire 702 keeps identical to the other end.In other embodiments, when guided wave 708 encounter interference (distortion or obstacle) or
Due to transmission loss or scattering and when loss of energy, electric field configuration and magnetic field configuration can be propagated in guided wave 708 along conducting wire 702 person
