Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and apparatus (10) is provided which employs phase or amplitude modulated electromagnetic probing waves (20) (in optical or microwave frequency ranges or both) emitted toward a vibrating object (8). The optical and/or microwave probing signals (20) remotely irradiate an object (8) of interest. The object (8) reflects and/or scatters the probing wave (20) toward a receiver (22). The reflected/scattered modulated signal (24) is received with a remote sensor (receiver) (22). Vibration causes additional phase modulation to the probing wave (20). At the receiving end the signal is , demodulated to extract and analyze the vibration waveform (26 28). The , present invention can be …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 23, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 23, 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.
