Which mechanism prevents total power transmission across unmatched waveguides?

💡 Explanation

Impedance mismatches cause reflections. Reflected wave interference superimposes on the input wave altering the characteristic impedance of the transmission line because the superposition creates standing waves; therefore less power is transmitted, rather than alternative energy dissipations.
