← ScienceWhich risk increases when a microwave waveguide propagates multiple modes simultaneously?
A)Increased dielectric breakdown strength
B)Reduced signal interference duration
C)Enhanced mode conversion efficiency
D)Elevated signal dispersion magnitude✓
💡 Explanation
Elevated signal dispersion increases, because multimode propagation causes different frequency components to travel at varying speeds due to waveguide dispersion. Therefore, signals broaden over distance, rather than experiencing uniform propagation like in single-mode operation.
