Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If antenna displacement is not corrected, then the system structure remains simple, but inter-mode interference occurs due to broken orthogonality between OAM modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by measuring the actual channel response and comparing it with theoretical channel responses corresponding to different displacement amounts. The displacement amount estimation unit uses this comparison to determine the actual displacement, which then feeds back to correct the antenna positioning, thereby maintaining orthogonality between OAM modes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical adjustment systems with signal processing-based displacement estimation. Instead of using sophisticated mechanical positioning mechanisms, the system uses channel response measurements and signal processing algorithms to estimate and correct displacement, reducing mechanical complexity while maintaining alignment accuracy
2Measurement precision
If manual adjustment is used to correct antenna displacement, then the device complexity is low, but the adjustment precision is insufficient to remove fine displacement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with automated signal processing-based displacement estimation. The system uses channel response measurements and compares them with theoretical models to automatically determine displacement amounts, achieving fine measurement precision without complex mechanical adjustment devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-diagnosis and self-correction by automatically measuring channel responses, estimating displacement amounts, and applying corrections without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability achieves high precision while keeping the device structure relatively simple
3Measurement precision
If iterative translation and rotation methods are used for beam alignment, then alignment precision is enhanced, but the complexity of the alignment process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential displacement information from complex channel responses by comparing measured responses with theoretical responses for different displacement amounts. This extraction approach achieves high alignment precision by focusing on the critical displacement parameter rather than performing full iterative translation and rotation adjustments

AI summary
An antenna displacement correction method for an OAM multiplexing communication system includes: a step of estimating a displacement amount by evaluating an evaluation function defined such that a theoretical channel response between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna matches a measured channel response estimated in a receiving station by using a known signal transmitted from a transmitting station, wherein the theoretical channel response has, as a parameter, the displacement amount indicating an amount of displacement of a reference axis predefined for each of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna from a predetermined position with respect to a desired relative positional relationship between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna; and a step of correcting a displacement of each of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna according to the estimated displacement amount.
