Which risk increases when microwave waveguide flange surfaces degrade?

💡 Explanation

Field discontinuities induce arcing because decreased surface area creates exponentially amplified electric fields initiating dielectric breakdown within the waveguide; therefore arcing is the risk, rather than attenuation or saturation which depend on bulk properties.
