Which radio frequency (RF) interference outcome increases when antenna impedance mismatches occur?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal reflection and standing waves emerge because impedance mismatches cause a portion of the transmitted signal to bounce back to the source due to the impedance mismatch 'reflection coefficient'. This creates interference, therefore undesirable reflections appear, rather than desired wave propagation.
