1Reliability

If traditional filter structures are used, then the device complexity is low, but the out-of-band rejection performance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The suppression ring acts as an intermediary component between the filter and ground, providing an additional path for out-of-band signal suppression. The ring is electrically connected to the filter's grounded ports and to ground through inductors, creating a mediator structure that enhances rejection performance without directly modifying the filter's core functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The grounding path is segmented into two parts: the direct ground connection at the filter's grounded ports, and the suppressed grounding path through the suppression ring and inductors. This segmentation allows different frequencies to be handled differently, with out-of-band signals being suppressed by the inductive path while in-band signals maintain their normal grounding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the suppression ring is added around the filter periphery, then the out-of-band rejection capability is greatly improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveout-of-band rejection capabilityVSAvoidfilter circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The suppression ring serves multiple functions: it provides electromagnetic shielding around the filter periphery, creates an additional suppression path for out-of-band signals, and works cooperatively with the inductors to enhance rejection performance. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by delivering multiple benefits from a single structural addition

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