Which outcome occurs when significant thermal gradients exist within a dielectric intended for GHz signal propagation?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal transmission is because thermal gradients induce variations in the dielectric constant, affecting the wave's path due to spatial variations in impedance. This causes signal attenuation and distortion during propagation; therefore option A, rather than enhanced performance scenarios due to a non-uniform dielectric.
