Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Multi-sensor correlation apparatus and methods for flash correlating data derived from a radar and a radar warning receiver to more accurately determine the direction to a threat radar that emits a reflection beam in the same direction as its transmit beam. Data association is performed by comparing the intercept timing of the main transmission lobe of the threat radar as observed by the radar warning receiver with the intercept timing of the main reflection lobe of the threat radar observed by the radar. The radar apparatus comprises the radar for detecting the reflection beam and, the radar warning receiver for simultaneously detecting the transmit beam. A flash correlator detects the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 29, 1996 and granted February 27, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 29, 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.
