Which risk increases when an amplifier's group delay variation exceeds 10 ns across the bandwidth?

A)Signal pulse broadens significantly
B)Amplifier saturation increases rapidly
C)Intermodulation distortion decreases slightly
D)Device thermal runaway is expedited

💡 Explanation

Signal pulse broadens significantly because increased group delay variation causes different frequency components to propagate at varying speeds via dispersion; therefore the pulse broadens, rather than saturation increasing or thermal runaway, which have different causes.
