Which effect results when a microwave waveguide sustains damage?

💡 Explanation

A deformation introduces losses, therefore the guided wave's amplitude decays rapidly because scattering increases due to impedance mismatch, rather than impedance increasing or any change to the cutoff which remains consistent.
