← ScienceWhich risk increases when a dielectric's thickness decreases in capacitively coupled waveguide?
A)Wave propagation mode degradation✓
B)Increased waveguide bandwidth stability
C)Reduced capacitive coupling strength
D)Suppressed higher-order wave harmonics
💡 Explanation
Wave propagation mode degradation occurs, because a thinner dielectric heightens the effects of surface roughness, causing increased scattering via Rayleigh scattering; therefore, affects mode orthogonality and increases energy leakage, rather than beneficial stability or coupling effects.
