Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If diode detection is used for signal level display, then cost is reduced, but sensitivity and dynamic range deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional diode detection mechanism with a radio frequency processing module that uses automatic gain control circuits and digital signal processing. This substitution transforms the detection system from a simple passive diode-based mechanism to an active controlled system, achieving both low cost and high sensitivity simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operating parameters of the detection system by introducing automatic gain control that dynamically adjusts amplification levels. This allows the system to maintain high sensitivity across a wide dynamic range while keeping the overall system cost-effective through integrated circuit implementation.

3Measurement precision
If amplifier gain is increased to improve sensitivity, then sensitivity is improved, but signal overload occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic gain control that uses feedback from the detected signal level to dynamically adjust the amplifier gain. When the signal level is high, the system automatically reduces gain to prevent overload; when the signal level is low, it increases gain to improve sensitivity. This closed-loop feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction between sensitivity and signal overload.
