Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An RDS receiver having dual tuners and dual antennas operates in two distinct modes a diversity mode, and a non-diversity mode. Diversity mode is when both tuners are tuned to a signal with the same program audio content and the audio from both tuners is blended together in a manner to minimize the effects of multipath distortion. In non-diversity mode, a forcing circuit isolates the tuner output signals so that one tuner provides the audio output while the other can be retuned to any other frequency for purposes of gathering RDS data.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 18, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 18, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 18, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
