Which consequence results when waveguide impedance discontinuities cause reflections?

💡 Explanation

The impedance mismatch creates reflections that interfere, because standing waves are generated through wave interference. Therefore, the standing wave ratio increases rather than providing better power transmission, because forward and backward power are no longer matched.
