Abstract
A surface wave converter for transmitting electromagnetic signals via a surface wave conduit. The surface wave converter comprises an input port, an interface, and a plurality of waveguide adapters. The input port is configured to receive an input signal. The plurality of wave guide adapters are for mounting along a circumference of the surface wave conduit and are configured to jointly excite a surface wave on the surface wave conduit based on the input signal. The interface configured to distribute the input signal received on the input port over the waveguide adapters via respective waveguide adapter ports.
