Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the micro-processing circuit detects the actual harmonic frequency generated by the LC circuit and compares it with the target frequency. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the inductance or capacitance values to compensate for component variations, ensuring consistent harmonic frequency without manual adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs variable inductors or capacitors that can dynamically change their electrical parameters under control of the micro-processing circuit. By adjusting the inductance or capacitance values based on detected frequency deviations, the system maintains precise harmonic frequency generation despite variations in fixed specification components.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-adjusting system where the circuit automatically compensates for component variations without human intervention. The micro-processing circuit continuously monitors the harmonic frequency and autonomously adjusts the variable inductor or capacitor to maintain the target frequency, eliminating the need for manual repeated adjustments during production.

Inventive Principle:
