A method and device which dynamically detects tracks and filters interfering signals with sufficient speed (i.e. within one IS-95 CDMA data frame period or 20ms) and fidelity to eliminate or greatly reduce the deleterious effects of narrow band interferon signals on a CDMA link. When inserted in an RF signal path an Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF) detects narrow band interferors above a threshold level within the CDMA signal. Detection is accomplished by continuous scanning of a preset excision band e.g. a specified narrow band associated with an AMPS system. Detected interferors are then automatically acquired and suppressed. This is achieved by electronically placing a rejection notch at the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 2, 1999 and granted September 2, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 2, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 2, 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.
