Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to identify delay taps, then the process is simple, but the accuracy of identifying important delay taps is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of identifying important delay tapsVSAvoidcomplexity of identification process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the channel impulse response into individual delay tap sampling points and processes each point separately through phase space reconstruction. By dividing the complex identification task into smaller sub-tasks for each delay tap, the method achieves higher accuracy in identifying important taps while managing the overall complexity through systematic processing of individual components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the one-dimensional delay tap amplitude data into a multi-dimensional phase space using embedding dimension and delay parameters. This dimensional transformation allows the recurrence plot method to capture complex temporal patterns and relationships that are not visible in the original single-dimensional representation, thereby significantly improving identification accuracy.

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

2Reliability

If all delay taps are processed equally, then the process is simple, but the ability to distinguish important taps from noise is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by computing recurrence rates individually for each delay tap sampling point rather than treating all taps uniformly. Each delay tap undergoes separate phase space reconstruction and recurrence plot analysis, allowing the method to identify and distinguish important taps with specific local characteristics from noise taps based on their unique recurrence patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional signal processing methods with the recurrence plot technique from nonlinear dynamics. This substitution introduces a new analytical framework that uses phase space reconstruction and recurrence rate calculation to detect and measure tap importance, overcoming the limitations of conventional approaches in distinguishing signal from noise.
