Abstract From the Canadian patent

Methods for driving a lossy transmission media with an energy wave defined by a an exponential waveform function. The propagation delay and attenuation of the wave is a function of an exponential coefficient and its propagation , velocity is essentially constant and independent of displacement. Utilizing relationships between the propagation velocity exponential coefficient, attenuation, and transmission line parameters one may effectively model , various transmission media. One may also determine unknown transmission line parameters, waveform exponential coefficients attenuation, and/or propagation , velocities by utilizing those relationships. By modulating the exponential …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 2, 2001 and granted April 1, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 2, 2021.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 2, 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.
