Which risk increases in a cellular communication tower when icing causes substantial antenna deformation?

💡 Explanation

Deformation alters the antenna geometry, therefore causing a dramatic impedance mismatch, because the *input impedance* deviates from 50 ohms; rather than efficiently radiating power, more energy is reflected or dissipated due to internal resistances.
