Which outcome results when a microwave waveguide section experiences significant impedance mismatch?

💡 Explanation

When a significant impedance mismatch occurs, power reflection escalates because the microwave energy is not efficiently transferred to the load, increasing both reflected wave amplitude and SWR. Therefore, an increased standing wave ratio results, rather than alteration of propagation velocity, breakdown threshold, or group delay distortion which depend on material properties.
