Which consequence results when intermodulation distortion corrupts digital signal multiplexing?

💡 Explanation

When compounded by intermodulation, digital signals in a multiplexed system experience spectral broadening due to unwanted frequency combinations. This reduces spectral efficiency because the signals now occupy more bandwidth than originally allocated, therefore spectrum usage becomes less efficient, rather than improving it.
