Which risk increases significantly when a microwave waveguide flange joint exhibits uneven contact compressing inconsistently?

💡 Explanation

Uneven contact causes imperfect impedance matching at the joint. This induces increased mode conversion because the imperfect junction scatters the initially propagating frequency as spurious modes, therefore scattering losses worsen, rather than improving propagation integrity or the material properties.
