During satellite communication, which outcome usually occurs when atmospheric ducting forms beyond designed tolerance?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric ducting concentrates radio waves because of temperature inversions, enabling extended propagation; therefore unintended signal extension occurs rather than controlled redirection, stable signal attenuation, or scheduled signal degradation. The ducting mechanism bypasses normal antenna directionality.
