Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional optical signal receiving devices are used, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot determine the modulation scheme of optical signals using OFDM, PAM, and DMT schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device is divided into distinct functional modules: an optical-to-electrical converter for signal conversion, an analog-to-digital converter for digitalization, and a modulation scheme determination unit for analysis. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently, enabling the system to identify multiple modulation schemes (OFDM, PAM, DMT) without requiring a complete redesign of the entire receiver structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The modulation scheme determination unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle various modulation schemes (OFDM, PAM, DMT) through a single integrated component. This universal approach allows the receiver to adapt to different modulation types without requiring separate dedicated receivers for each scheme, thereby improving versatility while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
2Productivity
If manual modulation scheme determination is used, then the device complexity is low, but the operation efficiency is reduced due to inability to automatically identify modulation schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The modulation scheme determination unit performs preliminary analysis of the received optical signal by examining frequency distributions before full demodulation processing. This preliminary action enables automatic identification of the modulation scheme (OFDM, PAM, or DMT), allowing the system to prepare appropriate processing parameters in advance and significantly improving signal reception efficiency without requiring complex real-time decision-making circuits.
3Productivity
If transmission capacity is to be adjusted according to transmission characteristics, then the communication efficiency is improved, but the transceiver circuit complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system adjusts transmission capacity by changing operational parameters based on determined modulation schemes and transmission characteristics. The modulation scheme determination unit identifies the appropriate scheme (OFDM, PAM, DMT), and the system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters such as data rate and power allocation accordingly. This parameter-based adaptation allows flexible transmission capacity adjustment without requiring physically complex reconfigurable circuits.
