Abstract From the Canadian patent

A peak power regulator is disclosed that functions within a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) transmitter to reduce peak power spikes within baseband signals, controlling the out-of-band emissions and maintaining the in-band , signal quality within an acceptable degradation. In-phase and quadrature baseband signals are input to an envelope magnitude predictor within the peak power regulator. The envelope magnitude predictor outputs an estimate for the magnitude of the envelope that will be generated when the inputted baseband signals are modulated. This estimate is input to a multiplier that generates a ratio by dividing the estimate by a maximum acceptable envelope magnitude. The …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 29, 2001 and granted January 8, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 29, 2021.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 29, 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.
