Which risk increases when waveguides operate near their cutoff frequency?

💡 Explanation

Near the cutoff frequency, the evanescent mode dominates because wave propagation becomes highly attenuated due to the inability to support a propagating mode. Therefore increased signal attenuation results, rather than mismatch, high SWR, or higher mode, which require sustained propagation at higher frequencies.
