Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge is to miniaturize microwave radio frequency devices such as filters and duplexers without compromising their filtering function, as reducing the size of the resonant cavity increases the resonant frequency, leading to inadequate performance.

Innovation Solution

A harmonic oscillator is structured with multiple sheet layers and a connection part, including a bolt and nut, to stabilize and fix the layers, using materials with low dielectric constant and loss angle tangent values, and incorporating artificial microstructures on the substrate to enhance dielectric constant and reduce resonant frequency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the size of the resonant cavity is reduced to achieve miniaturization, then the device size decreases, but the resonant frequency increases which compromises the filtering function

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidfiltering function
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The dielectric resonator is divided into multiple sheet layers (first dielectric sheet layer, second dielectric sheet layer, etc.) that are stacked and connected together. This segmentation allows the resonator to maintain its electromagnetic resonance properties while reducing the overall device size, as each layer contributes to the resonant structure without requiring a large cavity volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite structures combining multiple dielectric materials with different properties (first dielectric material, second dielectric material) to achieve the desired resonant frequency and filtering characteristics in a compact form. The composite structure allows optimization of electromagnetic properties without increasing device size

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Volume of moving object

If multiple dielectric sheet layers are stacked to reduce device size, then miniaturization is achieved, but the structural stability and fixing reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple dielectric sheet layers are merged into a single integrated resonant structure through connection parts (metal connection parts, resin connection parts) that bond the layers together. This merging maintains structural stability and fixing reliability while achieving miniaturization, as the connection parts ensure rigid coupling between layers without requiring a large support base

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Connection parts (metal connection parts, resin connection parts) serve as intermediaries between the dielectric sheet layers, providing mechanical bonding and structural stability. These intermediaries enable the stacked layers to function as a unified resonator while maintaining positional stability and preventing layer separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If conventional direct attachment method is used to fix the harmonic oscillator, then the structure is simple, but the loss increases due to poor fixing stability causing swinging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidelectromagnetic loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The connection parts are integrated into the resonant cavity structure, merging the fixing function with the resonant structure itself. This integration provides stable fixation that prevents swinging and reduces electromagnetic loss, while the overall structure remains relatively simple and manufacturable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
