← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes signal degradation in a long transmission line due to capacitive effects?
A)Chromatic dispersion weakening signal orthogonality
B)Skin effect increasing resistance at high frequencies
C)Inter-symbol interference broadening pulses✓
D)Thermoelectric effect generating extraneous voltages
💡 Explanation
When signals propagate through long transmission lines, parasitic capacitance between conductors leads to reactive impedance, dispersive effects, and frequency-dependent attenuation, causing inter-symbol interference that spreads out pulses. Therefore ISI results, rather than chromatic dispersion, skin effect, or thermoelectric effects which stem from different underlying physical phenomena.
