Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A radar system (20) includes a radar receiver (22) that provides the amplitude and the angular position of a plurality of return signals. A computer(30) forms a test function of amplitudes and angular positions of the plurality of return signals and compares the test function with a threshold value. Returns associated with a test function whose value is equal to or greater than the threshold value are determined to be targets (26) and those with lesser values are considered clutter (28).

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 14, 1996 and granted July 11, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 14, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 14, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
