Solution Overview

Problem

Current radio frequency communication devices face challenges with fixed power source designs that cannot be flexibly adjusted, leading to low anti-interference performance and increased power consumption, especially with the higher frequencies and peak-to-average ratios in 5G technologies.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting the radio frequency power supply status based on acquired interference information, using modules to determine correlation between interference and power supply status, and adaptively switching power supply modes to optimize performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a fixed power source radio frequency power supply mode is adopted, then the power supply design is simple, but the anti-interference performance is low and the power consumption cannot be flexibly adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-interference performanceVSAvoidpower supply design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power supply adjustment by introducing a power supply adjustment module that can dynamically switch between different power supply modes (first power supply mode and second power supply mode) based on detected radio frequency interference levels. This transforms the static fixed power supply into a dynamic system that adapts to changing interference conditions, thereby improving anti-interference performance without requiring complete redesign of the power supply architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the power supply parameters (voltage or current) based on detected interference levels. When interference is detected, the system switches to a first power supply mode with adjusted parameters; when no interference is detected, it uses a second power supply mode. This parameter adjustment approach allows the system to optimize anti-interference performance while managing power consumption flexibly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If power is increased to ensure large power and improve transmission modulation performance, then transmission performance is improved, but power consumption and heat generation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission modulation performanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts power supply levels based on operational conditions. During high-priority transmission tasks requiring large power and high modulation performance, the system switches to the first power supply mode that provides sufficient power. During low-priority tasks or idle periods, it transitions to the second power supply mode with reduced power consumption, thereby optimizing the balance between transmission performance and energy usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic detection of radio frequency interference and periodic switching between power supply modes. The system continuously monitors interference levels and adjusts power supply accordingly, creating a rhythmic pattern of high-power and low-power operation that maintains transmission performance when needed while reducing average power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed power source is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the flexibility and adaptability of power supply adjustment are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply flexibilityVSAvoidpower supply structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a power supply system that serves multiple functions through a single integrated architecture. The power supply adjustment module can operate in multiple modes (first power supply mode and second power supply mode) and adapt to different interference conditions, making the same hardware structure universally applicable to various operational scenarios without requiring separate dedicated power supply circuits for each mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
