Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite structure combining conductive materials (for resonators) with dielectric materials (for substrates and spacing). This composite approach creates a resonance-based noise suppression system that overcomes the limitations of single-material electromagnetic shielding at high frequencies.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the noise suppression device adaptable to different frequency bands by allowing adjustment of resonator parameters (such as dimensions, shape, or configuration). This dynamic adjustability enables the same basic structure to target different noise frequencies without requiring complete redesign, achieving versatility while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the noise absorption function with the existing resonator structure by integrating resistors directly into the resonator design. This combination allows the resonator to both resonate at the target frequency and dissipate energy through the resistors, achieving enhanced noise suppression without adding separate absorption components.
