Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional antenna design methods are used, then antenna performance can be achieved, but the design process is cumbersome and complicated, requiring continuous adjustment with the physical machine at different stages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna performanceVSAvoiddesign process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The ground structure is segmented into a defective ground structure layer with periodic gaps, dividing the continuous ground plane into discrete sections. This segmentation creates a modular antenna system where the defective ground structure layer can be independently designed and manufactured, reducing overall design complexity while maintaining performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the ground structure parameter from a continuous ground plane to a defective ground structure with periodic gaps. This parameter change transforms the antenna design into a more stable configuration that requires minimal adjustment during manufacturing, eliminating the need for continuous tuning at different stages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If traditional antenna design is used, then antenna function is achieved, but it is greatly affected by environmental parameters, requiring time-consuming and labor-intensive adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna functionVSAvoidenvironmental parameter influence
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The defective ground structure layer is pre-designed with optimized gap patterns and dimensions before manufacturing. This preliminary optimization of the ground structure configuration ensures that the antenna maintains stable performance across different environmental conditions, reducing the need for post-manufacturing adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a standardized defective ground structure layer that can be replicated across different antenna designs and applications. This copying of the proven defective ground structure pattern ensures consistent performance and reduces the need for environmental adjustments in different deployment scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Area of stationary object

If multiple antennas are placed in limited space, then space utilization is improved, but design and adjustment becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoiddesign and adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the antenna design into the vertical dimension by stacking multiple antenna bodies above the defective ground structure layer. This three-dimensional configuration allows multiple antennas to occupy limited planar space while maintaining proper spacing and performance, avoiding the complexity of planar optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
