← ScienceWhich consequence results when standing wave ratio increases drastically in microwave waveguide propagation?
A)Increased signal power transmission efficiency
B)Component overheating and potential damage✓
C)Improved impedance matching with the load
D)Reduced signal reflection at termination
💡 Explanation
High standing wave ratio indicates significant reflected power due to impedance mismatch; therefore, excessive energy concentrates within the waveguide because of destructive interference causing dielectric heating leading to component overheating and breakdown, rather than efficient power transmission.
