Abstract From the Canadian patent

An improved system and method for communicating information over in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) communication channels in a spread spectrum communication system is disclosed herein. In an exemplary implementation first and second information signals (an bn) are respectively transmitted over the I and Q communication channels using direct sequence spread spectrum communication signals. In-phase pseudorandom noise (PNI) and quadrature phase pseudorandom noise (PNQ) signals of predetermined PN codes (178 180) are, used for spreading the first and second information signals (an bn), respectively. In particular, the PNI and PNQ signals are respectively combined with the first and second …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 27, 1994 and granted September 5, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 27, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 27, 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.
