1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional interference cancellation techniques are used, then interference suppression is achieved, but system complexity and computational overhead increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the interference cancellation problem from the spatial domain to the frequency domain by applying Fourier transforms. This parameter transformation allows interference suppression to be achieved through simple frequency domain filtering operations rather than complex spatial processing, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining effective interference suppression.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical signal processing operations with mathematical transformations in the frequency domain. By using Fourier transforms and frequency domain filtering, the system achieves interference cancellation through computational mathematics rather than complex physical signal processing mechanisms, reducing overall system complexity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If advanced interference cancellation algorithms are implemented, then interference rejection improves, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the processing domain from time/space to frequency domain, where interference cancellation operations can be performed more efficiently. The Fourier transform converts complex temporal signal processing into simpler frequency domain operations, reducing processing time while maintaining or improving interference rejection performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic sampling and transformation operations in the frequency domain, allowing for efficient batch processing of interference cancellation. By periodically transforming signals between time and frequency domains and applying filtering operations, the system achieves rapid interference rejection without continuous complex processing.
