TMA Gain Adjustment via Non-Linear Step Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current TMA gain adjustment methods are inadequate as they fail to clearly express practical demands, cannot determine if the TMA gain is adjustable, and lack transparency in gain adjustment steps, leading to passive implementation and reduced maintainability.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow the maintenance end to receive information on whether the TMA gain is adjustable and supports non-linear adjustment, including the number of non-linear gain adjustment values and step values, enabling precise gain adjustments according to supported ranges and improving maintainability and utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the TMA gain adjustment is implemented using the prior art method (GetDeviceData command), then the gain range can be queried, but the practical demand cannot be clearly expressed and the adjustability cannot be determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the TMA proactively send information about its gain adjustability and supported non-linear adjustment steps to the maintenance end before any adjustment operation is attempted. This allows the maintenance end to determine in advance whether the TMA gain is adjustable and what adjustment steps are supported, avoiding failed operations and enabling informed decision-making about gain adjustment feasibility.
2Ease of repair
If the TMA gain adjustment steps are not transparent, then the implementation is passive, but the maintainability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the TMA continuously provide information about its gain adjustment capabilities, including the specific non-linear adjustment steps it supports. This feedback mechanism enables the maintenance end to understand the exact adjustment capabilities of the TMA, making the implementation active rather than passive, and significantly improving maintainability through transparent information about adjustment parameters and supported steps.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the gain adjustment interface does not specify supported steps, then the interface is simple, but the practical demand cannot be clearly expressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the TMA pre-calculate and communicate its supported non-linear gain adjustment steps to the maintenance end. This allows the interface to remain relatively simple while providing comprehensive adaptability information, enabling the system to adapt to different TMA types and their specific adjustment capabilities without requiring complex real-time calculations or trial-and-error procedures.

AI summary
A method and a system for gain adjustment of the Tower Mounted Amplifier and the Tower Mounted Amplifier are provided. The method includes: sending information indicating whether the current TMA supports the non-linear adjustment and a step value of the non-linear gain adjustment supported by the current TMA from the TMA to a maintenance end; performing non-linear adjustment to the gain of the current TMA non-linear according to the received step value of the non-linear gain adjustment when the maintenance end determines that the current TMA supports the non-linear gain adjustment according to the received information. The embodiments of the present invention effectively solve the problems that an original interface can not express the actual demand clearly and can not obtain whether the gain of the current TMA is adjustable or not and so on.
