Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If existing radar target simulation systems are used without resolution adaption, then the simulation can be performed with fixed high detail, but the measurement accuracy and efficiency are reduced when applied to devices with different resolutions
Solution Approach 1:
The simulation system dynamically adapts the level of detail and resolution of simulated targets based on the resolution capabilities of the device under test. The system adjusts simulation parameters in real-time to match the device's resolution, ensuring optimal measurement accuracy without unnecessary computational overhead from fixed high-detail simulations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes simulation parameters such as target cross-section size, distance, angular separation, and element complexity based on the device's resolution parameters. By modifying these parameters to align with the device's capabilities, the system achieves both high measurement accuracy and improved efficiency.
2Loss of information
If high detail simulation data is used for all devices, then comprehensive target information is available, but the complexity and processing requirements increase unnecessarily for lower resolution devices
Solution Approach 1:
The simulation system applies different levels of detail to different aspects of the target simulation based on the device's resolution requirements. Critical target features are simulated with appropriate detail while non-critical elements are simplified, ensuring information completeness where needed while reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial simulation by generating only the necessary level of target detail required for each device's resolution capabilities. Instead of generating complete high-detail simulations for all devices, the system produces appropriately scaled simulations that provide sufficient information without excessive complexity.
3Productivity
If simulation elements are not modified for device resolution, then the simulation process is simple, but the measurement efficiency and accuracy are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary adaptation of simulation parameters based on the device's resolution characteristics before conducting measurements. By pre-configuring the simulation to match the device's capabilities, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time adjustments during measurement, improving efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity.
