Compact Resonator With Integrated Conductive Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless base stations face challenges in installing resonators due to limited space, as they require additional space for extended tab portions and coupling loops, which compromises the compactness and electrical performance.
Innovation Solution
A compact resonator design that eliminates the need for an extended tab portion by using a conductive coupling between a pedestal and resonator body, with a conductive material like copper wire or a non-ferrous metal plate, and securing mechanisms such as raised or lowered key portions to maintain position, allowing the resonator and its coupling to fit within a small space.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an extended tab portion and coupling loop are used to connect the resonator to the antenna, then the electrical connection is established, but the space required for installation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the tab portion and coupling loop into a single integrated conductive coupling element. This conductive coupling directly connects the resonator body to the antenna without requiring separate extended tabs or loops, thereby establishing the electrical connection while minimizing the space required for installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and eliminates the extended tab portion from the traditional resonator design. By removing this space-consuming component and replacing it with a compact conductive coupling, the patent achieves the same electrical connection function with significantly reduced installation space.
2Area of stationary object
If a compact resonator design is implemented to fit limited space, then the installation space is reduced, but the electrical performance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the conductive coupling, optimizing its dimensions and configuration to achieve compactness. By carefully adjusting the size, shape, and position of the conductive coupling, the invention maintains effective electrical performance while fitting within limited installation spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies local quality optimization by designing the conductive coupling with specific geometric characteristics at critical locations. The coupling is configured to provide optimal electrical contact and performance at the interface between the resonator body and antenna, while the overall structure remains compact to fit limited spaces.
