Which consequence results when mismatched impedance causes signal reflections in coaxial cabling?

💡 Explanation

The *impedance mismatch* at cable joints reflects a portion of the forward signal back toward the source; because the power delivered to the load decreases with increased back reflection. Therefore, attenuation results, rather than other mechanisms influencing other phenomena.
