Abstract From the Canadian patent

A first (receiver), for example, pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) generator (6) is synchronised with a second identical PRBS generator (2) at a tramsitter by adding a PRBS (u(x)) to a data stream (w(x)). The data stream includes a known value at periodic intervals. The received data is framed (5) an:d thus the position of the known data values determined. The received data is sampled at these positions to produce a sequence of samples (s(x)) comprising a sampled version of the transmitter PRBS.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 2, 1990 and granted December 26, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 2, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 2, 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.
