Which signal attenuation increases when a waveguide distorts?

💡 Explanation

A distorted waveguide alters boundary conditions, therefore the electromagnetic field distribution changes which increases the cutoff frequency, preventing low frequency propagation, because energy leaks through evanescent modes; rather than other parameters being significantly impacted.
