Abstract From the Canadian patent

Dynamic matching of a source impedance 204 304 to a load impedance 240, 340. An embodiment of the invention is a device for active impedance matching comprising a voltage driver 410 having an output connected to a load 442 means for detecting an output current 406 from the voltage driver 410 to the load 442 means for scaling the detected output current 406 by a scaling value 416 and means for subtracting. a value representing the scaled detected output current 420 from an input signal 402 of the voltage driver 410. Another embodiment is a device for active impedance matching comprising a current driver 510 having an output connected to a load 542 means for detecting an output voltage 508 …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 22, 2001 and granted March 31, 2015. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 22, 2021.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 22, 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.
