← ScienceWhich effect results when impedance mismatch causes standing waves in coaxial cable?
A)Increased radiative power loss
B)Reduced signal transmission efficiency✓
C)Enhanced dielectric voltage breakdown
D)Minimized characteristic impedance deviation
💡 Explanation
Signal reflection leads to constructive and destructive interference because the standing wave ratio indicates the magnitude of the impedance mismatch. Therefore, reduced signal transmission efficiency results rather than radiative loss which is characteristic antenna behavior.
