Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional microwave detectors operate in license-free frequency bands (e.g., 5.8 GHz) to enable widespread deployment, then device accessibility and application scope are improved, but electromagnetic radiation interference from lower frequency bands increases detection inaccuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scopeVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary frequency-selection network between the receiving antenna and the mixing circuit. This network selectively passes the excitation frequency signal while blocking lower frequency interference signals, thereby mediating between the need to operate in license-free bands and the need to reject electromagnetic interference from lower bands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the frequency parameter of the detection system by using frequency up-conversion. The original baseband Doppler signal is modulated onto a higher frequency carrier (excitation frequency), which then passes through the frequency-selection network that blocks lower frequency interference while allowing the modulated signal through

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the Doppler intermediate-frequency signal is directly filtered to remove lower frequency components, then interference rejection is improved, but movement characteristic information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference rejectionVSAvoidmovement characteristic information
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary frequency up-conversion before filtering. By first modulating the Doppler signal onto a higher frequency carrier and then applying frequency-selection filtering, the system achieves interference rejection while preserving the movement characteristic information embedded in the frequency-shifted signal

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If frequency-selection networks are added to the microwave detection module to reduce electromagnetic interference, then detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidmodule complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency-selection network serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a band-pass filter to block lower frequency interference, serves as an impedance matching network for the receiving antenna, and provides signal routing functionality. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and mitigates the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An anti-interference microwave detection module processes frequency-selection for reducing the interferences from the electromagnetic radiation of the frequency bands different from the frequency band of the anti-interference microwave detection module in the environment to the echo signal of the anti-interference microwave detection module. A Doppler intermediate-frequency signal is trend processed to obtain a fluctuation signal. The characteristic parameter of the fluctuation of the fluctuation signal is corresponding to the characteristics of the movement of the object in the detection space, so that the anti-interference microwave detection module is able to completely reflect the characteristics of the movement of the object in the detection space and reduce the interferences of the electromagnetic radiation in the environment, including the interferences of the electromagnetic radiation of the same frequency band of the anti-interference microwave detection module, to the fluctuation signal.
