← ScienceWhich consequence results when increased parasitic capacitance affects a high-frequency transmission line?
A)Increased signal attenuation per unit length✓
B)Reduced characteristic impedance matching
C)Enhanced signal bandwidth and fidelity
D)Minimized thermal losses in dielectric material
💡 Explanation
Increased parasitic capacitance causes increased signal attenuation, because energy is stored in the parasitic capacitance as the electromagnetic wave propagates; therefore signal strength diminishes, rather than signal improvement, due to dielectric losses.
