Which limitation arises as signal frequency increases within RF transmission lines?

💡 Explanation

Increased frequency forces current to flow on the surface (skin effect mechanism) because higher frequency causes greater self-inductance impeding current flow near the center. Therefore, the conductor's effective cross-sectional area decreases, rather than increased dielectric loss being dominant.
