Abstract From the Canadian patent

A digital demodulator wherein a phase difference is detected between a reference signal and an angle-modulated wave, the difference in frequency is detected between the angle-modulated carrier wave and the reference signal based on the phase difference, and the phase of the reference signal to be set is controlled based on the phase and frequency difference. That is, the detection of the angle-modulated wave, the detection of the phase and frequency differences, and the phase control are performed using digital circuits. Therefore, excellent error rate is exhibited under noise and fading conditions, and it is possible to realize a small-sized low-cost demodulator which requires lower …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 19, 1990 and granted August 17, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 19, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 19, 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.
