Well, "passive" yes, but I'm a bit skeptical about fields being
"guided" out to space from the transmitter. We know that E and H
fields do not cause each other. We also know that the causal source of
both E and H fields are charges and currents. We also know that E
fields cause currents to flow in conductors. So if we have an electric
field directed into a transmission line we know that since the parts
of the line (or guide) are conductive that electric field causes
currents to flow. A flowing current causes a magnetic field. A
changing flowing current also causes additional E fields that in turn
cause more flowing currents. I suggest that it is these flowing
CURRENTS that are the mechanism for energy to be propagated down the
line.

Of course there is a different situation where fields are propagated
without currents. Like waves in free space. And such flows can be
redirected and concentrated etc. A dielectric lens clearly does does
that with no currents involved. Thus I'd argue that for E and H to be
transmitted from the active devices without currents the entire line
and antenna would have to be of an optical dielectric type. In that
case alone would I say that the E and H fields leave the tube and are
guided unchanged out into space. The very existence of near field
effects shows that there are OTHER fields being generated that are NOT
the original E and H.

Oops. Sorry. Wrong "bert"!

So? Where is the "current" flowing in a magnet?

It's called a flux. It picks up iron filings.

The gravitational field flows with its flowing mass through space-
time.

OK. I am giving up on taking you seriously.
