Which risk increases when mismatched impedance causes standing waves in a high-power RF transmission line?

A)Component overheating due resonance effects
B)Decreased antenna radiation efficiency
C)Reduced signal bandwidth allocation
D)Increased signal propagation velocity

💡 Explanation

Component overheating increases due to maximized voltage amplitude through constructive interference via resonance effects along components. This is because a high SWR forces higher currents and reflection; therefore overheating increases rather than decreased antenna efficiency under matched conditions.
