Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a resistor is connected between the communication lines to remove noise due to reflection, then signal quality is improved, but power consumption increases due to DC current flow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the electrical parameter of the filter device from a resistive configuration to a capacitive configuration. By using a capacitor instead of a resistor, the filter device can attenuate noise due to reflection while blocking DC current, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining signal quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the resistive filtering mechanism with a capacitive filtering mechanism. The capacitor-based filter device replaces the resistor-based approach, utilizing the different electrical characteristics of capacitors to achieve both noise attenuation and DC current blocking functions.
2Productivity
If communication speed is increased to 2 Mbps in the data phase, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but noise due to reflection increases affecting signal quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a capacitor as an intermediary element in the filter device. This capacitor acts as a mediator that allows the high-speed data transmission to proceed while simultaneously filtering out noise due to reflection, thus enabling both high productivity and maintained signal quality.
3Reliability
If a filter device is added to remove noise due to reflection, then signal quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential filtering function needed to handle noise due to reflection, implementing it through a simple capacitor-based circuit. By taking out only the necessary filtering capability rather than adding complex filtering systems, the patent improves signal quality while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
