Which phenomenon limits signal integrity across printed circuit boards?

💡 Explanation

The skin effect hinders propagation because oscillating current concentrates on a conductor's surface, increasing resistance and signal loss. Therefore, impedance mismatch arises rather than other dielectric failures or capacitive effects, because applied potentials are typically farbelow breakdown.
