Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces hardware notch filters (mechanical/electrical filtering components) with software-based OFDM signal processing. The shielding signal is generated through digital signal processing and transmitted via antenna, eliminating the need for complex hardware filtering circuits while achieving effective electromagnetic leakage blocking across broadband frequency ranges.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The OFDM-based shielding signal generation system serves multiple functions: it blocks electromagnetic leakage across broadband frequencies, allows flexible frequency band selection through software configuration, and enables authorized communication by permitting specific frequency bands. This multi-functionality replaces multiple separate hardware components with a single versatile system.

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

2Object-affected harmful factors

If hardware notch filter is used to block electromagnetic leakage, then frequency suppression is achieved, but the frequency range that can be suppressed is extremely limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables dynamic adjustment of frequency parameters through software configuration. The OFDM shielding signal can be generated with different subcarrier frequencies, bandwidths, and spectral masks to adapt to various frequency ranges. This allows the system to suppress electromagnetic leakage across the entire 1 GHz broadband frequency range and adapt to changing communication environments without hardware modifications.

3Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional technologies attempt to block all frequency bands, then electromagnetic leakage is reduced, but authorized communication is also blocked

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies frequency-selective shielding by configuring specific subcarriers in the OFDM spectrum to generate shielding signals only in frequency bands where electromagnetic leakage occurs. Authorized communication frequency bands are excluded from shielding signal generation, allowing local (frequency-specific) blocking while preserving communication capabilities in other bands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
