Title: The Innovations of Stephen Andrew Muller
Introduction
Stephen Andrew Muller is an accomplished inventor based in Santa Clara, CA. He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his expertise in the field of technology and innovation. His work has significantly contributed to advancements in transmitter circuits and device sensitivity testing.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Transmitter Finite Impulse Response Characterization." This invention involves a finite impulse response (FIR) extractor that includes at least one controller. The controller injects specified FIR tap values into a first captured waveform, which results from transmitting a raw waveform through a transmitter circuit that includes a FIR filter. The FIR filter has pre and post cursor tap values set to zero to create an expected waveform. The controller also injects the specified FIR tap values into the raw waveform to create an ideal waveform. Furthermore, the controller projects the expected and ideal waveforms onto a second captured waveform, resulting from transmitting the ideal waveform through the transmitter circuit with the pre and post cursor tap values set to the specified FIR tap values to create a compensated waveform. This process allows for the extraction of FIR tap values from the compensated waveform.
Another significant patent is the "Method and System of Testing Device Sensitivity." This invention outlines a method and system that tests device sensitivity based on whether the device passes or fails when subjected to a test signal. The device may be repeatedly subjected to a test signal at varying operating parameters to assess the pass-fail threshold at which the device transitions from operating properly to operating improperly.
