Which unintended outcome results when a PCB trace impedance mismatch occurs during high-frequency signal transmission?

💡 Explanation

Increased EMI results from impedance mismatches because reflection introduces spurious signals along the transmission line; this generates harmonics that radiate electromagnetic waves, therefore increases EMI rather than improves signal integrity which occurs in matched conditions.
