Which risk increases when a waveguide undergoes deformation?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal reflection occurs because deformation alters the waveguide's cross-section, disrupting impedance matching; this increases reflected electromagnetic energy via the mechanism of impedance mismatch rather than efficient wave propagation, therefore reflection increases, rather than other propagation alterations.
