Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional NFC antenna with single radiation part is used, then the device structure is simple, but the detection position is limited to single position
Solution Approach 1:
The NFC antenna is divided into multiple independent radiation parts (first radiation part, second radiation part, third radiation part), each capable of providing detection at different positions. This segmentation allows the antenna to achieve multi-position detection capability while maintaining relatively simple individual radiation part structures.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple radiation parts are combined into a single NFC antenna system, with each radiation part contributing to detection at different positions. The combination of these radiation parts through coupling structures enables the antenna to provide comprehensive multi-position detection functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple radiation parts are added to enable multi-position detection, then the detection capability is improved, but the antenna structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Each radiation part is designed to serve multiple functions: they all contribute to the overall NFC detection capability while individually providing detection at different positions. The radiation parts can be configured in various patterns (single turn, multi-turn, single layer, multi-layer) to adapt to different detection requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Different radiation parts are positioned and configured to provide optimal detection at specific locations. Each radiation part has its own characteristics and detection optimization, allowing the overall antenna system to provide comprehensive multi-position detection with each part optimized for its specific role.
