  The fundamental TM wave can be guided as a surface wave along a single dielectric coated wire. Such a setup is known as a Goubau line. Close to the wire the TM wave resembles closely the radial electric and azimuthal magnetic fields of a charged particle beam moving in an accelerator. Hence, it can be used to test beam instrumentation in the workshop. We introduce the principle, discuss benefits, and compare measurements of a beam instrumentation device performed with a Goubau line to measurements performed with a standard bench testing setup.
