Science

Which outcome results when a radio antenna near a high-power transmission line experiences extreme impedance mismatch?

A)Increased signal-to-noise ratio achieved
B)Antenna overheating via dielectric heating
C)Improved transmitter power efficiency
D)Reduced electromagnetic field emission

💡 Explanation

Antenna overheating arises because the large impedance mismatch causes reflected power back into the antenna elements; this induces dielectric heating as the material polarizes under the intense oscillating fields; therefore, overheating occurs, rather than increased efficiency or signal quality from proper power outflow.
