Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates generally to an optical CDMA transmission system and method employing differential optical encoding and bipolar decoding. Differential encoding and bipolar decoding may be performed at the bit level wherein differential phase encoding and decoding occurs on an entire composite signal. Differential encoding and bipolar decoding may also be performed at the chip level, wherein differential phase encoding and decoding occurs on individual spectral components of a given signal.

  • Filed January 31, 2006 and granted March 20, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 31, 2026.
  • Certificates of supplementary protection extend only drug patents, and it isn't classified as one.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
