Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication devices face challenges in maintaining transmission quality in high-frequency bands like 5G due to higher path loss, lower penetration, and higher noise, which require higher power and result in increased heat generation, and occupy more space with multiple low-power antennas.

Innovation Solution

The use of multiple transceiving modules with low gain and wideband properties, where the arrangement and quantity of transceiving units can be adjusted to optimize transmission and reception operations, allowing for efficient signal processing and reduced power consumption while maintaining coverage and equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a radiating antenna with greater transmit power is used to transmit signals to a wider range, then the transmission coverage is improved, but the heat generation and temperature increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission coverageVSAvoiddevice temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single high-power antenna system into multiple low-power radiating elements (first and second radiating elements) that work together. Each element operates at lower power individually, reducing heat generation per element, while collectively providing the required transmission coverage through coordinated operation controlled by the controller.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Temperature

If multiple radiating antennas with lower transmit power are used, then the heat generation is reduced, but the occupied space and installation requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice temperatureVSAvoidinstallation space
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple radiating elements (first and second radiating elements) into a single integrated antenna structure. This merging approach allows the system to maintain the thermal benefits of multiple low-power elements while consolidating them into one compact antenna unit that reduces installation space requirements and simplifies the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If higher power is used to transmit signals in the 5G band, then the transmission quality is improved, but the heat generation affects device performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission qualityVSAvoiddevice temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the high-power transmission requirement into multiple low-power radiating elements. By dividing the transmission function across several elements that operate at lower power levels, the system maintains reliable 5G transmission quality while avoiding the excessive heat generation that would occur with a single high-power amplifier, thus preserving device performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Volume of moving object

If a single high gain antenna is used, then the transmission coverage is extended, but the device occupies more space and generates more heat

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission coverageVSAvoiddevice space
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the single high-gain antenna with multiple lower-gain radiating elements (first and second radiating elements) that operate in parallel. This segmentation allows the system to achieve equivalent or superior coverage through coordinated operation while using smaller individual elements that collectively occupy less space than a single large high-gain antenna.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple radiating elements into an integrated antenna structure that provides compact form factor. This combination allows the system to achieve extended coverage through the collective operation of multiple elements while maintaining a compact overall antenna design that occupies less device space than traditional single high-gain antenna solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
