Integrated Output Line and Antenna System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing active antennas require separate power and signal output lines, leading to water resistance issues and cumbersome installation, especially outdoors, and increased complexity in indoor wiring, which affects stability and signal interference.
Innovation Solution
An integrated output line combines a power supply line and a signal output line within a jacket, with the power supply line including a negative line equivalent to ground for shielding, and multiple shield layers to reduce interference, along with a power source module and antenna system configuration that filters noise to enhance signal reception.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate power supply line and signal output line are used, then the active devices can work normally, but water resistance deteriorates and installation becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power supply line and signal output line into a single integrated cable assembly. The power supply line and signal output line are bundled together within a common outer sheath, forming one unified connection interface between the antenna and the external system. This merging eliminates the need for separate wiring routes, reduces installation complexity, and improves water resistance by eliminating gaps between separate lines where moisture could penetrate.
2Productivity
If separate power supply line and signal output line are used, then the active devices can work normally, but installation time and labor increase
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating multiple lines into a single cable assembly with a unified connector, the patent reduces the number of separate connection operations required during installation. The integrated structure allows for single-step connection at both the antenna end and the external device end, significantly reducing installation time and labor requirements compared to handling separate power and signal lines independently.
3Stability of the object's composition
If separate power supply line and signal output line are used, then the active devices can work normally, but stability deteriorates when force is applied
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated cable assembly consolidates the power supply line and signal output line into a single structural unit with a common outer sheath. This unified structure distributes mechanical stress across the entire assembly rather than concentrating it on individual lines, improving stability when force is applied. The integrated connector design ensures that both lines are secured together, preventing relative movement and maintaining stable electrical connections under mechanical stress.
4Reliability
If separate power supply line and signal output line are used, then the active devices can work normally, but signal interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested shielding structure where the signal output line is surrounded by a shield layer, which in turn is enclosed within the outer sheath that contains both the power supply line and signal output line. This nested arrangement provides multiple levels of electromagnetic interference protection. The inner shield protects the signal line from the power line, while the outer sheath provides additional shielding and mechanical protection, effectively reducing signal interference without requiring overly complex external shielding structures.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The integrated output line improves water resistance and installation efficiency, reduces signal interference, and increases the signal-to-noise ratio by combining lines and using multiple shielding layers and filtered power sources, resulting in improved antenna system performance and user experience.
Implementation Method 1
the distance between the signal output line and the negative line is shorter than the distance between the signal output line and the positive line. A shielding effect can be provided since the negative line is equivalent to the ground.
Implementation Method 2
the signal output line includes a first shield layer and a second shield layer. The two shield layers being arranged contribute to protecting signals from being interfered.
