When used as a simulator the test volume is located outside the horn between the forwardly extending plate section and the ground plane. The plate section which functions gas a radiating element initially extends parallel to the ground plane and then curves downwardly to terminate adjacent it.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 13, 1993 and granted July 30, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 13, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 13, 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.
