Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a dipole antenna is used to transmit and receive vertically polarized waves, then the antenna can be widely applied to communication devices, but data loss occurs when waves are reflected or altered to horizontally polarized waves due to multi-path interference and phase changes
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna is designed to handle both vertically and horizontally polarized waves simultaneously through its specific geometric configuration. The antenna structure incorporates elements oriented in multiple directions, enabling it to receive and transmit both vertical and horizontal polarizations, thereby eliminating data loss caused by polarization changes during reflection and multi-path propagation
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rod-like dipole antenna is used for vertically polarized waves, then omni-directional radiation patterns are achieved in the azimuth direction, but the antenna cannot process horizontally polarized waves effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna employs an asymmetric geometric configuration where elements are arranged at specific angles and orientations rather than symmetrically. This asymmetric design enables the antenna to generate and receive both vertical and horizontal polarized components, improving reliability by ensuring consistent performance regardless of wave polarization state during transmission and reflection
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional dipole antenna structures are used, then simple construction is maintained, but antenna gain and frequency bandwidth are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna is divided into multiple discrete elements or segments arranged in a specific configuration. Each segment contributes to different polarization components or frequency ranges, and their collective arrangement achieves enhanced gain and bandwidth while maintaining relatively simple individual element designs that are easy to manufacture
