Which effect accelerates transmission line degradation when standing waves exist?

💡 Explanation

Standing waves cause uneven voltage/current distributions along the line, and therefore dielectric losses increase in regions of high electric field due to dielectric heating, rather than optimized impedance matching expected with travelling waves because of mismatched impedance.
