Which effect occurs when mismatched impedance attenuates transmission?

A)Signal reflection increases sharply
B)Resonance frequency drifts downward
C)Ohmic losses dominate power dissipation
D)Dielectric breakdown intensifies rapidly

💡 Explanation

Signal reflection increases because impedance mismatch prevents efficient power transfer; wave energy is reflected at the discontinuity through the standing wave ratio mechanism, rather than transmitted. Therefore, reflection increases, rather than dissipation or breakdown at resonance.
