Abstract
Surface inhomogeneities that are inevitably present on the boundaries of real waveguiding structures can substantially influence propagation of electromagnetic waves. If the guide is employed to transmit signals to a distant point, then even small fluctuations of its parameters can produce, by virtue of cumulation effects, significant distortions in the field pattern. This situation is typical with long-distance communication lines, natural wave-supporting formations such as the earth-ionosphere cavity or tropospheric ducts, etc.
