Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional power amplifier models are used, then the model structure is simple, but the generalization ability and prediction accuracy are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the power amplifier model into multiple sub-models, each responsible for different aspects of the distortion characteristics. This segmentation allows each sub-model to focus on specific patterns, improving overall prediction accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces historical-time input data as an additional dimension to the model, incorporating temporal information beyond just current input signals. This dimensional expansion enables the model to capture dynamic behavior and improve generalization ability by learning from past states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional power amplifier models are used, then the training process is simple, but the generalization ability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing historical-time input data and organizing training datasets before actual model training. This preparation includes selecting relevant historical time points and structuring data in a format optimized for training, which streamlines the subsequent training process and improves generalization ability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic training by iteratively adjusting model parameters based on performance metrics and incorporating adaptive learning rates. The training process dynamically adapts to the complexity of the data, improving generalization ability while optimizing training time through intelligent resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If historical-time input data is incorporated, then the model captures dynamic behavior better, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel robustnessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant historical-time input data features that contribute to dynamic behavior capture, rather than processing all possible historical data. This selective extraction reduces data processing complexity while maintaining model robustness by focusing on critical temporal patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing strategies to different portions of historical-time data based on their importance. Critical recent historical data receives more sophisticated processing, while older less relevant data undergoes simpler processing, optimizing the balance between model robustness and processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
