Solution Overview
Problem
Asymmetric signal sequences processed by high-pass systems generate dynamic offsets due to mean signal voltage shifts, interfering with downstream processes, especially in data transmission where self-return processes fail to reduce these offsets effectively.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If high-pass filtering is applied to asymmetric signal sequences, then signal processing is achieved, but dynamic offset is generated causing interference to downstream processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful dynamic offset into a controllable parameter by using a controllable element (transistor) to deliberately discharge the capacitor during interpulse periods. The discharge amount is adjusted to match the offset magnitude, transforming the harmful voltage accumulation into a controlled process that eliminates interference while maintaining high-pass filtering functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the discharge of the capacitor is controlled based on the detected input signal characteristics. The controllable element adjusts the discharge amount in response to the signal amplitude and interpulse period duration, creating a closed-loop system that dynamically compensates for the dynamic offset and prevents downstream interference
2Object-generated harmful factors
If capacitor discharge is increased to reduce dynamic offset, then offset interference is reduced, but signal processing accuracy may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic control of the capacitor discharge process. The controllable element (transistor) adjusts its conductance in real-time during interpulse periods based on the input signal characteristics. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the discharge amount precisely matches the accumulated offset, eliminating interference without introducing excessive distortion to the signal waveform
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the high-pass filter by dynamically adjusting the capacitor discharge characteristics. The discharge time constant and discharge amount are varied according to the input signal amplitude and interpulse period, allowing the system to adapt to different signal conditions and maintain both offset reduction and signal accuracy
