Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If polarization direction is determined at the beginning of design, then manufacturing process is simplified, but flexibility and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna assembly is divided into multiple independent baseboards (first antenna baseboard, second antenna baseboard, connection baseboard) that can be manufactured separately with fixed polarization directions. These segmented components are then assembled in different angular configurations to achieve various overall polarization directions, thus maintaining manufacturing simplicity while gaining flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces adjustable angular connection mechanisms between baseboards, allowing the polarization direction to be dynamically changed after manufacturing by adjusting the connection angles. This makes the system adaptable to different scenarios without requiring redesign or remanufacturing.
2Productivity
If polarization direction is fixed during manufacturing, then production efficiency is improved, but transmission efficiency in varying scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the antenna into multiple baseboards with fixed polarization directions, each component can be manufactured efficiently using standardized processes. The overall transmission efficiency is maintained by selecting and assembling the appropriate combination of baseboards for different transmission scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The antenna assembly achieves multi-functionality by combining multiple baseboards with different polarization orientations. A single antenna system can serve multiple functions and adapt to various transmission scenarios by adjusting the angular connections, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated antennas.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple polarization modes are implemented, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complexity of achieving multiple polarization modes is reduced by segmenting the antenna into modular baseboards. Each baseboard maintains a simple fixed structure, while the complexity of multi-polarization is managed at the assembly level through angular connections, making the system easier to manufacture and maintain.
