Which consequence results when an antenna attempts to emit frequencies below waveguide cutoff?

A)Reactive power dominates feedpoint impedance
B)Radiation resistance increases substantially
C)Antenna gain improves unexpectedly
D)Spurious harmonic emission appears

💡 Explanation

Reactive power dominates because below cutoff frequency, the waveguide acts as a reactive element. The Evanescent wave appears and stores, rather than radiates, energy; therefore, impedance becomes reactive rather than primarily resistive. Harmonics are unrelated.
