Which risk increases when an antenna's impedance matching network degrades?

💡 Explanation

Inefficient impedance matching causes standing waves because the reflected power increases, therefore raising the power dissipated within the amplifier, rather than being radiated effectively. A high VSWR leads to overheating.
