Which risk increases when a microwave waveguide diameter nears the excitation threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased reflected power losses results because impedance mismatch occurs at cutoff, thus reducing transmission across the guide because the wave is unable to transmit and creates standing waves rather than propagating power effectively.
