← TechnologyWhich risk increases when gain approaches maximum for a parabolic dish antenna?
A)Lowered signal-to-noise ratio
B)Increased atmospheric refraction effects
C)Enhanced multi-path interference
D)Narrowed beamwidth alignment sensitivity✓
💡 Explanation
Increased gain in a parabolic antenna narrows the beamwidth due to constructive interference concentrating signal energy. Therefore, precise directional alignment is critical, rather than improved SNR; environmental effects might only become noticeable at lower gain, because a narrower beam decreases the field of view.
