Which risk increases when a microwave waveguide's dimensions approach operating wavelength?

💡 Explanation

When waveguide dimensions approach the operating wavelength, additional propagation modes can be supported because the waveguide's cutoff frequencies shift, increasing the number of modes. Therefore, allowing multimode propagation, instead of lower losses, saturation or improved breakdown which would require suppressing waves or exceeding voltage limits.
