VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If single-ended signals are used in wireless radio frequency communication, then the system structure is simple, but external interferences cause poor reception and transmission performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the signal mode from single-ended to differential mode, changing the fundamental parameter of signal representation. This parameter change enables the system to reject common-mode external interferences while maintaining good reception and transmission performance, directly resolving the technical contradiction between reliability and susceptibility to external harmful factors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If differential mode signals are used to reduce external interference, then anti-interference capability is improved, but device complexity increases due to port converting devices and shield cases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal interferencesVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a port converting device as an intermediary component that transforms single-ended signals to differential mode signals. This intermediary enables the system to achieve anti-interference capabilities without requiring a complete redesign of the entire communication system, thus resolving the contradiction between reducing external interferences and maintaining acceptable device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shield case is connected to the reference voltage end to create an equipotential environment, which reduces the impact of external interferences on the information transmission device. This equipotential design provides shielding protection while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, addressing the contradiction between anti-interference capability and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If shield case is used to protect information transmission device, then external interference is reduced, but heat dissipation becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a common ground connection between the shield case and port converting device to create an equipotential reference. This design provides a stable reference voltage that reduces the impact of external interferences. The manufacturing precision requirements are managed through standardized connection interfaces and reference voltage stabilization techniques, resolving the contradiction between interference reduction and manufacturing precision requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality
