Abstract From the Canadian patent

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter has a ladder-shaped circuit in which first one-port SAW resonators are connected between an input terminal and an output terminal as series resonators and second one-port SAW resonators are connected as parallel resonators. The antiresonant frequency of the second one-port SAW resonators matches the resonant frequency of the first one-port SAW resonators. The distances between interdigital transducers and reflectors of the second one-port SAW resonators are specified such that a spurious component is generated at a frequency between the resonant frequency of the second one-port SAW resonators and the transmission band of the filter in order to improve …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 14, 1996 and granted November 2, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 14, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 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.
