Which outcome occurs when a microwave waveguide narrows?

💡 Explanation

Reflections occur because wave impedance changes at the constriction, causing mismatched propagation. This reflection creates standing waves, rather than improved antenna efficiency; impedance does not uniformly increase therefore the reflection happens selectively at the constricted part, rather than across the wider section.
