Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If communication message analysis and waveform signal analysis are conducted by independent apparatuses, then each analysis function can be specialized, but it becomes difficult to associate communication messages with waveform signals and increases workload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines communication message analysis and waveform signal analysis into a single integrated apparatus. The communication analysis apparatus includes both a message analysis unit that decodes communication messages and a waveform analysis unit that analyzes waveform signals, allowing both analysis functions to operate together and associate results through synchronization information, thereby eliminating the need for separate independent apparatuses while maintaining specialized analysis capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The communication analysis apparatus is designed to perform multiple functions: it can analyze communication messages, analyze waveform signals, and synchronize/associate the results of both analyses. This multi-functional design allows a single apparatus to replace multiple specialized apparatuses, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis capabilities through a unified platform
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple independent waveform signal analysis techniques are used, then comprehensive signal analysis can be performed, but it becomes difficult to read associations between different analysis results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple waveform signal analysis techniques (power spectrum analysis, constellation analysis, MER analysis) into a single apparatus and synchronizes their results using synchronization information. This allows comprehensive signal analysis while making it easy to interpret associations between different analysis results by displaying them in a coordinated manner with corresponding synchronization markers
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces synchronization information as an intermediary element that links different analysis results. This synchronization information acts as a mediator that enables the association between communication message analysis results and waveform signal analysis results, making it easy to understand relationships between different analyses without requiring complex manual correlation
3Measurement precision
If only qualitative estimation of communication state is performed by experts, then detailed observation of waveform characteristics is possible, but quantitative determination and efficient analysis by non-experts become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/expert-based qualitative estimation process with an automated information processing system. The communication analysis apparatus automatically performs quantitative determination of communication states by processing waveform signals and generating objective analysis results, eliminating the need for expert subjective judgment while maintaining high precision through systematic analysis methods
Solution Approach 2:
The communication analysis apparatus performs self-service by automatically determining communication states without requiring expert intervention. The system autonomously analyzes waveform signals, compares them with ideal signals, and generates quantitative assessments of communication quality, enabling non-experts to efficiently obtain accurate analysis results without needing specialized knowledge
4Measurement precision
If ideal pilot signals are used for OFDM-type transmission signal analysis, then actual pilot signals can be analyzed, but the analysis is limited to specific signal types and requires preliminary signal preparation
Solution Approach 1:
The communication analysis apparatus is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple signal types including OFDM-type transmission signals and other modulation schemes. The waveform analysis unit can analyze various signal formats by comparing actual signals with appropriate ideal reference signals, making the apparatus adaptable to different communication standards and signal types without requiring separate specialized systems
