Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a digital data demodulating apparatus a, sampling circuit samples a received signal at a speed N x K(N > 1, K > l; integers) times a symbol rate to output received signal sequences. N received signal sequence selection circuits estimate channel impulse responses from the respective received signal sequences to obtain channel state data, and output a control pulse and the estimated channel impulse response values. A received signal sequence selection controller outputs a switch control signal on the basis of the channel state data. N selectors select demodulation received signal sequence candidates from the received signal sequences on the basis of the control pulse. A first switch …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 22, 1993 and granted September 15, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 22, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 22, 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.
