Innovation Solution

The introduction of a terminal antenna system with a common-mode feed between an excitation part and a radiation part, allowing for N-time wavelength excitation, and a high-isolation antenna system combining low-impedance common-mode feeding with differential-mode feeding to achieve enhanced isolation and flexibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed feeding mode is used for the antenna, then the feeding structure is simple, but the disposition location and disposition mode of the feed are restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisposition location and disposition mode of feedVSAvoidfeeding structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a feeding structure that supports multiple feeding modes (differential mode and common mode) within a single antenna system. The antenna can operate in different modes (0.5-time wavelength, 1.5-time wavelength, etc.) by switching between differential mode feeding and common mode feeding, making the feeding structure adaptable to various disposition locations and modes without requiring separate feeding structures for each mode.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple antennas are disposed on a terminal device, then wireless communication capability is enhanced, but achieving high isolation between antennas becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless communication capabilityVSAvoidisolation between antennas
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing the common mode feeding to excite different wavelength modes (0.5-time, 1.5-time, 2-time, etc.) of the antenna. By changing the operating wavelength parameter, the antenna can achieve high isolation from other antennas operating at different wavelengths, even when multiple antennas are disposed in close proximity on a terminal device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional differential mode feeding is used, then the feeding mechanism is established, but excitation of N-time wavelength modes is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexcitation modesVSAvoidfeeding mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces common mode feeding as an intermediary mechanism that enables the excitation of N-time wavelength modes. The common mode feed acts as a mediator between the power source and the antenna, creating a feeding mechanism that complements the conventional differential mode feeding. This intermediary feeding approach allows the antenna to operate in multiple wavelength modes without significantly increasing the overall complexity of the feeding system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
