Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional threshold-based methods (SNR, circle length, circle kurtosis) are used for coherent signal detection, then the detection process is simple and fast, but the detection precision deteriorates due to unreasonable threshold selection and inability to handle nonlinear classification problems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical threshold-based detection methods with a deep learning-based multimode-oriented hybrid model. This substitution enables the system to automatically learn optimal detection thresholds and nonlinear decision boundaries from data, significantly improving detection precision while handling the complex nonlinear relationships between multimodal features and signal coherence that traditional methods cannot capture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms fixed threshold parameters into dynamic, learnable parameters within the deep learning model. By using neural networks to adaptively determine detection thresholds based on input signal characteristics, the system can optimize detection precision for different signal conditions without requiring manual threshold tuning, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple detection processes and high detection precision
2Measurement precision
If limited number of features are used for coherent detection, then the detection process is fast and computationally efficient, but the detection precision deteriorates due to failure to fully consider nonlinear complex relationships between multimodal feature data and reflected signals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple modalities of features (SNR, carrier phase difference, circle length, circle kurtosis, and radar cross section features) into a unified deep learning model. This integration allows the system to fully exploit the nonlinear complex relationships between diverse feature types and signal coherence, achieving high detection precision while maintaining processing efficiency through the model's optimized architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic feature selection and weighting within the multimode-oriented hybrid model. The deep learning architecture adaptively adjusts the importance of different features based on the input signal characteristics, allowing the system to process only the most relevant features for each detection case, thereby maintaining high processing efficiency while achieving comprehensive detection precision
3Measurement precision
If deep learning-based multimode-oriented hybrid model is used, then the detection precision is improved by solving nonlinear classification problems, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex detection task into multiple specialized sub-models within the hybrid architecture, each handling specific feature modalities or detection aspects. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity through modular design while maintaining high detection precision, as each sub-model can be optimized independently for its specific function
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs a universal multimode-oriented hybrid model that can handle multiple detection scenarios and feature types through a unified deep learning framework. This multi-functional approach reduces overall system complexity by eliminating the need for separate detection systems for different signal types, while still achieving high detection precision across various scenarios through adaptive learning
