Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the distance between radiation elements is reduced to fit small-sized mobile terminals, then the compactness is improved, but the isolation between radiation elements deteriorates due to electromagnetic wave interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna sizeVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces isolation adjustment portions as intermediary elements between radiation elements. These portions include parasitic elements and isolation structures that mediate the electromagnetic interaction between adjacent radiation elements, redirecting current flow and reducing mutual interference while allowing close spacing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the isolation function from the radiation elements themselves by introducing separate isolation adjustment portions. These portions are specifically designed to handle electromagnetic interference without participating in the primary radiation function, allowing the radiation elements to be positioned closer together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a slit is formed in the ground surface to improve isolation, then the electromagnetic interference is reduced, but the design flexibility and circuit configuration are restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic interferenceVSAvoiddesign flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the isolation function into separate adjustment portions that can be independently configured. Instead of using a single ground surface slit that restricts design, the isolation is divided into multiple adjustable elements including parasitic elements and isolation structures that can be positioned and configured flexibly to achieve desired isolation without limiting circuit layout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna having a plurality of isolation adjustment portions is provided. The MIMO antenna includes a plurality of radiation elements and a plurality of isolation adjustment portions. The plurality of radiation elements is symmetrically formed on the surfaces of the left and right sides of a dielectric element having a predetermined shape, is spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, operates in multiple frequency bands, and includes feeding portions, respectively. The plurality of isolation adjustment portions is coupled to the plurality of radiation elements so that they have electromagnetic characteristics different from those of the plurality of radiation elements, thereby improving isolation in each of the frequency bands in which the plurality of radiation elements operate.
