Which risk increases when an RF amplifier nears saturation?

💡 Explanation

Increased intermodulation distortion risk occurs because exceeding the amplifier's linear range causes non-linearities, amplifying intermodulation products signals through amplitude modulation. Therefore, intermodulation surges rather than decreases because other effects would require a linear signal.
