Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Terminal devices, such as mobile phones, are susceptible to electromagnetic interference from changing magnetic fields generated by components like radio frequency circuits, which can disrupt the normal operation of electronic devices on the circuit board.
Innovation Solution
An anti-interference module is introduced, comprising a circuit board with an interfering source, a device disposing space, and an anti-interference component that includes a second coil and a magnetic field shielding element. The second coil generates a compensation magnetic field or consumes energy from the interference magnetic field, while the shielding element reduces the magnetic induction intensity in the device disposing space, thereby minimizing interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a radio frequency circuit operates on the circuit board, then the terminal device provides communication functionality, but a changing magnetic field is generated that interferes with surrounding electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
A magnetic shielding layer is introduced as an intermediary between the radio frequency circuit and surrounding electronic devices. This shielding layer, made of magnetic shielding material, intercepts and redirects magnetic field lines, preventing them from coupling with adjacent components like audio coils, thus eliminating the harmful interference while preserving communication functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board is segmented into functional zones by introducing a magnetic shielding layer that physically divides the space between the radio frequency circuit and surrounding electronic devices. This segmentation isolates the magnetic field generated by the radio frequency circuit to a specific region, preventing it from affecting other components
2Adaptability or versatility
If the circuit board layout becomes more complex to accommodate multiple functions, then more electronic devices can be integrated, but electromagnetic interference susceptibility increases
Solution Approach 1:
Magnetic shielding layers are strategically placed between different functional modules on the circuit board, acting as intermediaries that allow multiple devices to coexist in close proximity while preventing electromagnetic interference between them, thus enabling higher device integration without increasing interference susceptibility
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the circuit board are assigned different magnetic shielding properties. Magnetic shielding layers are selectively applied in areas where interference is most likely to occur, such as between radio frequency circuits and audio components, while leaving other areas open for signal transmission, thus enabling complex layouts with controlled interference
3Reliability
If magnetic shielding material is added to reduce interference, then electromagnetic compatibility improves, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic shielding layer is implemented as a thin film or flexible shielding structure that can be laminated onto the circuit board using existing manufacturing processes. This thin-film approach maintains electromagnetic compatibility while minimizing the impact on manufacturing complexity, as it can be integrated into standard PCB lamination processes
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic shielding layer is constructed using composite materials that combine magnetic shielding properties with structural integrity. These composite materials can be processed using standard manufacturing techniques, balancing the need for effective electromagnetic shielding with ease of manufacture

Function Achieved in This Case
The anti-interference module effectively reduces the magnetic induction intensity in the device disposing space, ensuring normal operation of electronic devices by compensating for or shielding the interfering magnetic field, thus enhancing the operational reliability of terminal devices.
Implementation Method 1
The second coil is disposed on a side of the device disposing space... configured to generate a compensation magnetic field that overlaps the interference magnetic field
Implementation Method 2
at least a part of the magnetic field shielding element is located between the second coil and the device disposing space... the shielding element reduces the magnetic induction intensity in the device disposing space
