1Reliability

If conventional reflective panels are used in 5G/6G communication systems, then radio wave propagation can be improved, but reflection direction accuracy and reflection efficiency deviate from design specifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereflection direction accuracyVSAvoidreflection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the thickness ratio of dielectric layers (d1/d2 between 0.5 and 1.5) and using specific permittivity values (2.0≤εr1≤3.0, 2.0≤εr2≤3.0) to optimize the reflective properties. This systematic parameter optimization ensures both accurate reflection direction and high reflection efficiency for 5G/6G frequency bands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining multiple dielectric layers with different permittivity values (εr1 and εr2) and a metal layer in a specific configuration. This multi-layer composite structure creates controlled impedance transitions that enhance reflection efficiency while maintaining directional accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Loss of energy

If conventional reflective panels are used, then radio wave reflection can be achieved, but air bubbles form causing return loss and reducing reflection efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereturn lossVSAvoidreflection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-heating the dielectric layers to 80-130°C before lamination and maintaining vacuum pressure during the bonding process. This preliminary thermal preparation prevents air bubble formation during assembly, eliminating return loss causes before they can occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates an inert environment by using vacuum pressing during the lamination process. The vacuum atmosphere removes air from between layers before bonding, preventing air bubble entrapment that would cause return loss and reduce reflection efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)
