A One Bit Digital Quadrature Vector Modulator (DQVM) and a method of generating single sideband output signals are useful for a wide range of radio frequency signal processing, and wireless applications. The DQVM simplifies the necessary digital multiplication by using noise shaped one bit versions of both the baseband I B and Q B signals to be modulated and the I LO and Q LO modulating signals. The one bit DQVM enables a much faster digital implementation of the digital quadrature vector modulation function than can be achieved with conventional multi-bit digital techniques. In addition the single sideband upconversion of the DQVM achieves high suppression of the unwanted sideband by …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 17, 1998 and granted October 21, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 17, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 17, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
