Title: Innovations by Steve A Allpress
Introduction
Steve A Allpress is a notable inventor based in Hoboken, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of equalization technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing the performance of decision feedback equalizers in various channel conditions.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "High performance equalizer with enhanced DFE having reduced complexity." This invention presents an apparatus and method for implementing an equalizer that combines the benefits of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with a maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) equalizer. It performs equalization in a time-forward or time-reversed manner based on the channel characteristics, significantly reducing complexity while improving performance over conventional DFEs. The architecture includes two DFE-like structures followed by a MAP equalizer, which allows for tentative symbol decisions and truncates the channel response to a desired memory.
Another significant patent is "Decision feedback equalizer for minimum and maximum phase channels." This invention describes an apparatus and method to enhance the performance of a DFE for time-varying multi-path channels. The equalization process is tailored for both minimum-phase and maximum-phase channels, utilizing time-reversed operations for maximum-phase channels to improve filtering and equalization.
