Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual parameter setting and communication between field measurer and base station control center is used, then the system can perform radio station tests, but the measurement time is excessive and the operation is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The portable spectrum analyzer is equipped with automatic parameter setting functions and base station control capabilities, allowing it to perform radio station tests autonomously without requiring continuous manual intervention or communication with the base station control center. The device can automatically configure test parameters, initiate measurements, and analyze results, thereby reducing measurement time and improving operational convenience simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable spectrum analyzer pre-stores multiple sets of test parameters and configurations for different radio station test scenarios. Before actual measurement, the appropriate parameter sets are selected and loaded into the device, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual parameter setting during the measurement process and enabling faster test execution.
2Measurement precision
If the portable spectrum analyzer has direct communication capability with base station control center, then measurement accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The portable spectrum analyzer integrates multiple functions including signal analysis, parameter setting, base station control, and automatic measurement capabilities into a single device. By making the device multi-functional, it can directly communicate with and control the base station, thereby improving measurement accuracy without requiring additional separate equipment, thus limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication functions, control functions, and measurement functions are merged into a single integrated system. The portable spectrum analyzer combines the base station control center's parameter setting capabilities with its own signal analysis capabilities, allowing direct control of base station signals while maintaining a compact device structure.
