Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A compact wide-band panel antenna is modified to provide a dual-mode antenna system with improved operation, particularly in the presence of interfering signals and varying reception conditions in mobile communications applications. A hybrid junction arrangement is used to combine received signals in sum and difference modes suitable for adaptive processing. Signal transmission is provided by reciprocal operation, with a circulator incorporated for signal isolation. The dual mode capability provides previously unavailable performance in a small economical broad-band antenna.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 28, 1993 and granted September 17, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 28, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 28, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
