Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a conventional waveform shaping filter is used to address signal pulse dulling, then the signal pulse clarity is improved, but the power consumption increases due to high current driving capacity requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the electrical parameters of the filter circuit by using a transistor in a specific configuration with an amplifier providing feedback to create a virtual grounding point. This parameter change allows the filter to achieve the required signal shaping with lower current driving capacity, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining signal pulse clarity
Solution Approach 2:
The amplifier feeds back its output to create a virtual grounding point at the input terminal. This feedback mechanism stabilizes the operating point and enables the filter to achieve effective waveform shaping with reduced current requirements, thereby lowering power consumption while maintaining measurement precision
2Use of energy by moving object
If the current driving capacity is reduced to lower power consumption, then the power consumption decreases, but the ability to enhance high-frequency components is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
By changing the circuit configuration to include a virtual grounding point created through feedback, the filter achieves better high-frequency response with lower current. The virtual grounding point stabilizes the input impedance, allowing effective high-frequency component enhancement without requiring high current driving capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual grounding point acts as an intermediary that mediates between the low current input and the high-frequency component enhancement requirement. It provides a stable reference point that enables effective signal processing without demanding high current driving capacity from the input stage
