Which unintended consequence occurs when capacitance suddenly drops in waveguide systems?

💡 Explanation

Reflected power increases because an impedance mismatch arises, and impedance matching relies upon consistent capacitance. Without matching, electromagnetic waves experience significant wave reflection, therefore reducing the forwarded wave power, rather than efficient transmission.
