20100323461 | Lithographic Method and Arrangement - A method is described for obtaining information for use in modeling of a lithographic process. A pattern feature is formed on a target portion of a substrate by projecting a beam of radiation onto the target portion of the substrate.

A property of the pattern feature is measured. Using the measured property of the pattern feature and at least one of the first and second properties, information is obtained for use in modeling the process.

This results in a more accurate process disturbance estimate. A method of control obtains, based on measurement sample definition, a first process variable of a system under control, determines a residual error using the first process variable and a first set point, controls the system using the residual error, obtains, based on the same sample definition, a second process variable, and adjusts the second process variable using the residual error. The method may also include determining, using the adjusted second process variable, one or more first set points for controlling the system by the low-level controller that may vary in correspondence with the sample definition. | 03-08-2012 |

20120064849 | PA Bias Optimization for Modulation Schemes with Variable Bandwidth - One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for improving the power consumption of a transmission chain by varying the operating point of a power amplifier to optimize (e.g., reduce) the current that is consumed by the amplifier. The operating point is varied by changing the bias voltage(s) (e.g., supply voltage, quiescent voltage) of the amplifier to a predetermined value that is chosen based upon the effect that a given transmitted signal modulation scheme characteristic (e.g., channel bandwidth and/or number of subcarriers) has on the operating point of a power amplifier. For example, if the characteristics indicate a good power amplifier performance the linear output power capability of a power amplifier can be lowered, by changing the bias voltage(s) supplied to the power amplifier, to reduce the output power capability and current consumption of the power amplifier. | 03-15-2012 |
