Which consequence results when rapid atmospheric icing decreases antenna capacitance?

💡 Explanation

Icing accumulation changes antenna's overall permittivity; this dielectric change affects its capacitance through capacitive drift. Impedance mis-match worsens because the **reactive impedance** changes, therefore more signal reflects power rather than radiating into the atmosphere, rather than a shift in frequency alone.
