Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Receiver devices introduce unnecessary delay in processing signals from shorter transmission lines, reducing processing speed and accuracy in communication systems with varying line lengths.
Innovation Solution
A receiver device and operation method that detect the length of a transmission line, compare it to threshold values, and adjust the depth of the FIFO process accordingly, using a switch to control the FIFO process depth based on the comparison result, thereby avoiding unnecessary delay and expediting processing speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the receiver introduces longer delay time to ensure accuracy for longer transmission lines, then the receiving accuracy is improved, but the processing speed is reduced due to unnecessary delay for shorter transmission lines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of FIFO buffer depth based on detected transmission line length. The receiver dynamically changes the delay time introduced by the FIFO process according to the actual line length, transitioning from a static fixed-depth buffer to a dynamic adaptive buffer that optimizes both accuracy and speed for different transmission scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of FIFO buffer depth based on transmission line characteristics. By detecting the line length and adjusting the FIFO depth parameter accordingly, the system adapts the delay time to match the actual transmission requirements, preventing both insufficient delay for long lines and excessive delay for short lines
2Ease of manufacture
If the receiver uses a fixed FIFO process depth to handle all transmission line lengths, then the implementation is simple, but it cannot adapt to different transmission line lengths causing either delay or speed reduction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static FIFO depth configuration into a dynamic adaptive mechanism. A detection unit measures transmission line length and controls a adjustment unit to modify the FIFO buffer depth in real-time, enabling the system to adapt to varying transmission conditions without requiring multiple fixed configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback loop where the receiver detects the transmission line length and uses this information to adjust the FIFO process depth. The detection result feeds back to the control mechanism, creating a closed-loop system that automatically optimizes the buffer depth based on actual transmission conditions
