← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when signal **clipping distortion** corrupts a digitally modulated radio signal nearing a power amplifier's saturation?
A)Increases in bit error rate✓
B)Maximum power output maintained
C)Reduced out-of-band emissions
D)Improved receiver synchronization
💡 Explanation
The outcome is increased bit error rate, a degradation of signal integrity because clipping distortion non-linearly alters the signal waveform. This causes inter-symbol interference, therefore decoded bits become unreliable, rather than retaining power, shrinking emissions, or improving synchronization alone.
