Which risk increases when impedance mismatches occur in a high-frequency transmission circuit?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflections and power loss increase because impedance mismatches cause a portion of the signal to reflect back to the source, a phenomena called "Reflection". Therefore, the effective transmitted power decreases, rather than improving signal qualities, as these require managed characteristic impedance.
