Which outcome occurs when the dielectric limit in strip-line propagation reaches breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Propagation reaches its breakdown limit given high voltages where dielectric material cannot sustain the electric field; this initiates dielectric breakdown and arcing, which reduces signal strength drastically because energy is dissipated in the arc, therefore, signal integrity declines, rather than impedance matching which would be reflection related.
