Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional resonator element is used to control electromagnetic waves, then the structure is simple, but the design freedom for polarization and transmission control is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The resonator is divided into multiple independent resonator elements (first resonator element, second resonator element, third resonator element) that can be independently designed and configured. Each element has specific geometric parameters that can be adjusted separately, enabling fine-grained control over electromagnetic wave polarization and transmission characteristics while maintaining modular simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the resonator structure are assigned different functional properties. The first resonator element is configured with specific dimensions for polarization control, the second element for transmission control, and the third element for coupling. This local differentiation enables high design freedom for specific electromagnetic control functions without requiring complete redesign of the entire structure
2Volume of moving object
If resonator elements are closely spaced to reduce size, then the device compactness improves, but electromagnetic coupling and phase control become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The third resonator element acts as an intermediary between the first and second resonator elements. It provides a controlled coupling path that enables electromagnetic energy transfer while maintaining phase control. The intermediary element allows the first and second elements to be spaced at optimal distances for both compactness and phase control, resolving the contradiction between size reduction and phase control capability
Solution Approach 2:
The resonator elements are arranged in a three-dimensional configuration with specific spacing relationships in multiple directions. The first and second resonator elements are spaced in a first direction, while the third element provides coupling in a second direction. This dimensional arrangement enables compact packaging while maintaining the necessary electromagnetic coupling and phase control through spatial distribution
3Manufacturing precision
If a reference conductor is added to provide potential reference, then the electromagnetic control precision improves, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reference conductor is merged with the ground plane or substrate structure rather than being implemented as a separate, independently manufactured component. This integration approach provides the necessary potential reference for precise electromagnetic control while avoiding the manufacturing complexity of adding discrete reference conductor elements. The reference function is combined with the existing structural elements
