Which outcome occurs when a transmission line's impedance varies periodically along its length?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal reflection occurs because periodic impedance variations cause repeated partial reflections: Bragg reflection, which constructively interfere at specific wavelengths. Therefore signal loss increases rather than impedance matching improving because impedance is now an unstable rather than fixed property.
