Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A radio frequency signal is received by using a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter to sample the radio frequency signal at a sampling rate and to generate therefrom 1-bit digital samples representing a digital intermediate frequency signal. The intermediate frequency signal is demodulated to generate in-phase and quadrature samples. Demodulation may be performed by generating a first mixed signal by combining the 1-bit digital samples representing the intermediate frequency signal with a first sequence representing a cosine mixing signal; generating a second mixed signal by combining the 1-bit digital samples representing the intermediate frequency signal with a second sequence …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 15, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 15, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 15, 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.
