Incorporating an equalizer in the wireless communication system that performs equalization on transmit signals to counteract the transmission characteristic of the couplers, allowing for electromagnetic field coupling between modules, thereby expanding the frequency bandwidth and maintaining constant gain across a wide range, enabling efficient high-speed data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If electromagnetic field coupling is used for wireless communication, then wired connection can be replaced and device manufacturing can be simplified, but communication speed is limited due to restricted frequency bandwidth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing an equalizer that modifies the frequency response characteristics of the transmission path. The equalizer adjusts equalization coefficients to compensate for frequency-dependent attenuation and distortion, thereby expanding the usable frequency bandwidth and enabling higher communication speeds while maintaining the simplicity of electromagnetic field coupling architecture
2Productivity
If high-speed wireless communication is achieved by expanding frequency bandwidth, then data transmission efficiency improves, but system complexity increases due to need for equalization processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the equalizer continuously monitors the received signal quality and adjusts equalization coefficients accordingly. This adaptive feedback approach allows the system to maintain high data transmission efficiency while managing complexity through intelligent control rather than purely hardware-based solutions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex hardware-based bandwidth expansion mechanisms with signal processing-based equalization. By using digital or analog equalization circuits that process signals electronically, the system achieves wideband performance without the mechanical or structural complexity that would otherwise be required
3Speed
If wider frequency bandwidth is used for transmission, then data transmission speed increases, but power consumption and operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using equalization to selectively enhance only the frequency components that are most beneficial for data transmission. Rather than uniformly amplifying all frequencies, the equalizer applies frequency-dependent gain adjustments, thereby achieving high data speeds while minimizing unnecessary power consumption in less critical frequency bands
