Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A circuit for matching the impedance of a narrow-band resonator filter presented to a port over a broad range of frequencies employs a second resonator that has substantially the same transfer characteristic as the resonator filter. The resonator filter is isolated from the output port using a resonator having a dual characteristic that behaves as a short circuit in the pass-band of the resonator filter, and is an open circuit in the stop-band of the resonator filter. The second resonator is isolated from the port using a resistor that has a value on the order of the ideal or desired impedance to be presented at the port. The circuit provides an impedance at the port that is …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 24, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 24, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 24, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
