Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate transmission and reception antennas are used for dual-polarized antennas, then wireless signal transmission and reception functions are achieved, but the physical space required increases and device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate transmission and reception antennas into a single integrated antenna structure. The antenna element serves both transmission and reception functions simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate antenna structures and reducing the physical space required in the wireless communication device.
Solution Approach 2:
The antenna is designed to perform multiple functions - both transmission and reception of wireless signals with dual polarization capabilities. This multi-functional design allows a single antenna to replace what would traditionally require separate specialized antennas for each function.
2Reliability
If separate transmission and reception antennas are used, then wireless communication functions are achieved, but the number of components increases and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple antenna components into a single integrated antenna structure that handles both transmission and reception. This consolidation reduces the total number of components in the wireless communication device while maintaining full dual-polarized communication functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated antenna is designed to universally handle multiple communication functions including transmission, reception, and dual polarization operations, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized components for each function.
3Area of stationary object
If a single antenna is used for simultaneous transmission and reception, then device size is reduced, but signal interference between transmission and reception may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna structure is segmented into distinct feed zones - a first feed zone for transmission signals and a second feed zone for reception signals. This spatial segmentation within the single antenna structure helps isolate transmission and reception signal paths, reducing mutual interference while maintaining compact dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the antenna are assigned different functional qualities - the first feed zone is optimized for transmission with appropriate impedance and radiation characteristics, while the second feed zone is optimized for reception with different impedance matching and signal coupling characteristics. This local differentiation reduces interference between transmit and receive functions.

Function Achieved in This Case
Reduces the physical space required for wireless communication devices by enabling simultaneous signal transmission and reception, potentially reducing the device size and eliminating the need for external coupling elements like duplexers.
Implementation Method 1
The antenna is configured to transmit a first wireless signal based on a transmission signal, and receive a second wireless signal, where the second wireless signal comprises a reflected first wireless signal from an object
Data Source
AI summary
A transceiver includes an antenna configured to transmit a first wireless signal based on a transmission signal and receive a second wireless signal, the second wireless signal including a reflected first wireless signal from an object and the antenna transmitting the first wireless signal and receiving the second wireless signal at the same time. A transmission circuit is configured to generate the transmission signal and output the transmission signal to a first side of the antenna. A reception circuit is configured to receive a reception signal from a second side of the antenna, the antenna outputting the reception signal based on the second wireless signal. The first side is different from the second side.
