Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a biasing circuitry in a power level detector used for power control of a high-frequency power amplifier. According to the invention to compensate, for variation caused in the detector diode (D) threshold voltage by temperature changes, a constant-power source (T R1, R2) is used by means of which the operating point of the detector diode (D) is set at a constant level and close to the angle point of the threshold voltage of the diode (D).

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 6, 1990 and granted November 28, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 6, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 6, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
