Existing electromagnetic radiation monitors lack the capability for long-term data accumulation and have limited measurement ranges, particularly in the upper frequency bands, making them inadequate for continuous monitoring of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation.
Innovation Solution
A planar antenna integrated with a detection unit forms a unified electrodynamic receiving structure, enabling continuous measurement of power and energy density across a hyper-broadband frequency range with minimal mismatch, and includes an independent power supply and data processing unit for long-term data storage and display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a separate antenna and detector are used in prior art monitors, then the device structure is simpler, but the measurement precision deteriorates in the upper frequency range due to mismatch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the antenna and detector into a single integrated structure where the detector is built into the receiving surface of the planar antenna. This integration eliminates the mismatch between separate antenna and detector components, thereby improving measurement precision in the upper frequency range while maintaining a compact device structure.
2Duration of action of moving object
If prior art monitors use simple measurement structures, then the device complexity is lower, but the duration of measurement is limited and cannot accumulate data for long-term measurement periods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the antenna, detector, data processing unit, and memory into an integrated system. The unified structure allows continuous operation and long-term data accumulation by merging all necessary functional components into a cohesive measurement device capable of extended monitoring periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated device performs multiple functions including radiation detection, data processing, long-term storage, and display. This multi-functionality enables the device to operate continuously for extended periods while accumulating and managing measurement data without requiring external systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If prior art monitors use separate antenna and detector components, then the device is easier to manufacture, but the adaptability to different frequency ranges is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the detector directly into the antenna structure, creating a unified component that maintains consistent electrical characteristics across a broad frequency range. This integration improves adaptability to different frequency bands while using standard planar antenna fabrication techniques that remain relatively easy to manufacture.
