← ScienceWhich signal attenuation increases when a waveguide distorts?
A)Cutoff frequency shifts downward✓
B)Characteristic impedance becomes capacitive
C)Skin effect is marginally reduced
D)Group velocity remains unchanged
💡 Explanation
A distorted waveguide alters boundary conditions, therefore the electromagnetic field distribution changes which increases the cutoff frequency, preventing low frequency propagation, because energy leaks through evanescent modes; rather than other parameters being significantly impacted.
