Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the number of detection elements is increased, then the detection coverage is improved, but the noise interference from capacitive and inductive coupling increases
Solution Approach 1:
A conductive layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the electrode and counter electrode layers. This conductive layer acts as a shield to block capacitive and inductive coupling between adjacent detection elements, thereby reducing noise interference while allowing the detector array to maintain high detection coverage.
2Area of stationary object
If the number of detection elements is increased, then the detection coverage is improved, but the preamplifier operation stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive layer serves as a shielding intermediary that prevents electromagnetic interference from propagating to the preamplifier circuits. By blocking capacitive and inductive coupling paths, the conductive layer maintains preamplifier operation stability even when the number of detection elements is increased.
3Area of stationary object
If the number of detection elements is increased, then the detection coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive layer is integrated into the existing detector structure, merging the shielding function with the electrode and counter electrode layers. This integration approach allows the detector array to achieve high detection coverage without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the conductive layer can be fabricated using similar processes as the existing layers.
