1Length of moving object
If conventional radio devices are used for long-range wireless communication, then transmission range can be extended, but signal interference and cross-talk between transmitting and receiving functions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The radio device is segmented into separate transmitting and receiving parabolic reflectors with fixed parallel alignment, physically separating the transmitting and receiving functions to reduce interference while maintaining long-range communication capability
Solution Approach 2:
An isolation choke boundary is introduced as an intermediary element between the transmitting and receiving reflectors to provide electromagnetic isolation and minimize cross-talk between the two functions
2Adaptability or versatility
If switching between transmitting and receiving functions is implemented, then operational flexibility is improved, but alignment precision and interference avoidance become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs agile duplexing capabilities that allow dynamic switching between transmitting and receiving modes while maintaining fixed parallel alignment of the reflectors, providing operational flexibility without compromising alignment precision
Solution Approach 2:
The radio device is designed with dual-polarized waveguide filters and separate transmit/receive reflectors that enable the system to perform multiple functions (transmitting, receiving, and agile duplexing) simultaneously or alternately without requiring realignment
3Power
If high-gain transmission and reception is achieved through parabolic reflectors, then signal strength is improved, but device complexity and interference management increase
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitting and receiving parabolic reflectors are merged into a single radio device with fixed parallel alignment, sharing common structural support and control systems while maintaining separate high-gain functions to reduce overall device complexity
