VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the microwave sensing device receives signals directly without preprocessing, then the device structure remains simple, but the sensing accuracy deteriorates due to noise and interference

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The signal processing function is segmented into multiple independent circuits: generation circuit for creating the transmission signal, first processing circuit for preprocessing, receiving circuit for signal acquisition, second processing circuit for further processing, and removing circuit for DC component elimination. Each circuit handles a specific aspect of signal processing, improving sensing accuracy while keeping individual circuit modules relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
