Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An automatic voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) current control circuit (100, 200, 300 or 400) that senses a voltage in the VCO (201) representative of the current of the VCO (201) compares, that voltage (V2) to a reference voltage (V1) and applies the, voltage (V3) resulting from that comparison back to the VCO (201) at a point therein that changes its bias state in such a manner as to maintain the noise level in the VCO at a minimum and also maintains the power output of the oscillator substantially constant.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 17, 1990 and granted September 21, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 17, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 17, 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.
