← ScienceWhich consequence results when signal reflections form a standing wave?
A)Increased amplifier output power
B)Damage to the RF transmitter✓
C)Improved impedance signal matching
D)Enhanced antenna wave directivity
💡 Explanation
Because a standing wave concentrates radio frequency (RF) energy near the transmitter through wave interference processes, rather than dissipating it as intended, impedance mismatches cause high voltage and current within the transmitter, therefore transmitter damage is likely, rather than optimization.
