Which consequence results when a pulsed microwave waveguide experiences overmoding?

💡 Explanation

Overmoding introduces multiple propagation modes with differing phase velocities. This can cause localized field enhancements, leading to increased dielectric breakdown risk in the waveguide, because standing waves are forming; therefore, breakdown occurs rather than efficient power transfer.
