Which outcome occurs when rainfall causes excessive surface-water film on a microwave transmission antenna?

💡 Explanation

Signal attenuation increases because surface-water film affects microwave transmission via dielectric absorption; the **molecular polarisation** changes the effective impedance and reduces radiated power. Therefore signal loss greatly increases, rather than bandwidth improving or impedance remaining stable under said condition.
