Which risk increases when a microwave waveguide excites higher modes?

💡 Explanation

Higher modes propagate at different angles introducing parasitic elements; because of increased surface currents, radiation losses raise sharply due to leaky waveguide bends. Therefore energy radiates, rather than being transmitted efficiently, which occurs at base mode operation.
