A method and apparatus are provided for receiving electromagnetic radiation within a frequency band. The receiving is accomplished by intercepting electromagnetic radiation within the frequency band and converting the intercepted electromagnetic radiation into an electrical signal (102). Subsequently, a portion of the electrical signal (102) is digitized (104) into digitized signals (112 113, 114). Each digitized, signal (112 113, 114) represents the intercepted electromagnetic radiation within a portion of the frequency band. Finally a composite, digitized signal (118) is generated (116) from at least two of the digitized signals (112, 113) 114). Alternatively the receiving process …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 7, 1994 and granted August 24, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 7, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 7, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
