As the particle moves, the de Broglie wavelength appears as an observable (a relativistic effect). The nature and interpretation of high frequency oscillations remained unrevealed so far. This paper presents a self- trapped circular electromagnetic (EM) travelling wave model of electron (specifically) and of other charged particles in general. Curling EM wave is localized (stationary) and still a plane monochromatic travelling wave, against the customary wave packet approach, where a number of frequencies are made to interfere to build a stationary localized wave packet. The model reveals facts such as interpretation of wave function Psi (de Broglie wave) as a relativistic effect of a real wave function and removes the discrepancy of very high phase velocity (c<span style="font: 7.1px Helvetica">2</span>/v) associated with it. The model also incorporates zitterbewegung of electron and 4pi rotation needed, for a complete round of wave cycle. <span style="font: 8.7px Helvetica">V</span><span style="font: 6.0px Helvetica">C<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span>2014 Physics Essays Publication.
