Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio wave control devices struggle to effectively change the receivable area of radio waves when the refraction or reflection angle is relatively small, leading to inefficient communication in obstructed environments.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the refraction or reflection angle is kept small to maintain a compact device structure, then the device size is reduced, but the receivable area of radio waves becomes insufficient and communication efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the radio wave control plate rotatable around the normal direction of the incident wave. This rotational freedom allows the plate to dynamically adjust its orientation, enabling the refraction or reflection angle to be changed from a fixed small angle to a variable angle that can be optimized for different communication scenarios. The rotation mechanism transforms a static compact structure into a dynamic system that can adapt its effective receivable area based on environmental conditions while maintaining a compact physical footprint.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the refraction or reflection angle is increased to expand the receivable area, then communication quality in obstructed environments is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing a rotation mechanism that enables the radio wave control plate to serve multiple functions: it can adjust refraction/reflection angles for different obstacle configurations, adapt to various incident wave directions, and optimize communication for different environmental conditions. This single rotational degree of freedom provides multi-functionality that would otherwise require multiple separate components or mechanisms, thereby expanding the receivable area without proportionally increasing structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If a fixed radio wave control plate is used to simplify the device structure, then manufacturing and operation are easier, but the emission direction cannot be adjusted to overcome obstacles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static fixed plate into a dynamic rotatable plate system. The rotation mechanism allows the plate to change its orientation around the normal direction of the incident wave, enabling adjustment of the emission direction to overcome obstacles. This dynamic capability is achieved through a relatively simple rotational degree of freedom that maintains ease of operation while dramatically improving adaptability for different communication scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation mechanism is designed to be self-adjusting or easily adjustable, allowing the system to adapt its emission direction based on environmental conditions. The mechanism enables the plate to serve itself by providing the necessary orientation adjustment without requiring complex external control systems, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while achieving directional adaptability.
