1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple radiators are used to achieve multi-frequency band operation, then the adaptability is improved, but the isolation between resonances deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna apparatus divides the radiating structure into multiple independent radiators (first radiator, second radiator, third radiator, fourth radiator) with distinct resonant frequencies. Each radiator is segmented to operate in different frequency bands, achieving multi-frequency band operation while maintaining isolation between resonances through physical and electrical separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Ground terminals are introduced as intermediary elements between radiators to control current paths and enhance isolation. The ground terminals provide reference potentials and current return paths that prevent unwanted coupling between adjacent radiators, thereby maintaining resonance isolation while enabling multi-frequency operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple ground terminals are introduced to improve isolation between resonances, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveisolation between resonancesVSAvoidnumber of ground terminals
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple ground terminals are merged into a shared ground structure that serves multiple radiators simultaneously. The ground terminals are electrically connected to form a common reference potential, reducing the number of independent ground connections while maintaining isolation between resonances through the unified ground system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The ground terminals are designed to serve multiple functions: providing reference potential for multiple radiators, controlling current distribution patterns, and enhancing isolation between resonances. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
