Which risk increases when microwave guides exceed cutoff frequency?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown risk in microwave guides rises sharply when cutoff frequency is exceeded because the electric field intensity increases due to mode distortion caused by exceeding the cutoff frequency, therefore breakdown occurs easily, rather than propagation loss diminishing.
