1Productivity

If signals are transmitted in high-frequency bands to achieve higher data rates, then data transmission rate is improved, but internal noise and phase noise increase causing degradation of reception accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies compressive sensing to transform the signal representation from the time-frequency domain to a compressed sparse domain. By representing signals in a different dimensional space where they exhibit sparsity, the system can reconstruct accurate signals even when transmitted through noisy high-frequency channels. This dimensional transformation allows separation of signal information from noise, resolving the contradiction between high data rate transmission and reception accuracy.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary compression of the signal before transmission using compressive sensing techniques. By pre-compressing the signal into a sparse representation and transmitting only the essential compressed coefficients, the system achieves high transmission efficiency. The receiver then reconstructs the original signal from these compressed coefficients, and the preliminary compression action enables robust reconstruction even in noisy environments by focusing on the most significant signal components.

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements iterative reconstruction algorithms that use feedback from the received signal to progressively improve signal recovery. The receiver repeatedly refines the signal reconstruction by comparing the reconstructed signal with the received compressed measurements and adjusting the reconstruction accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures high reconstruction accuracy despite the compressed nature of the transmitted data and the presence of noise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
