Which consequence results when a power amplifier designed for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi transmits at 5.2 GHz?

💡 Explanation

Increased reflected power occurs because the impedance matching network is optimized for 2.4GHz, but not 5.2GHz. Impedance mismatch causes standing waves, therefore signal reflection increases severely rather than the intended power transfer given design constraints.
