Which limitation do transmission line impairments impose when characteristic impedance becomes inconsistent?

💡 Explanation

Reflections occur because impedance mismatches disrupt the forward propagating wave, causing some energy to travel backward; therefore standing waves emerge. This occurs because of wave interference, rather than merely signal delay or localized heating under consistent loading.
