    摘要: The object of a plasma radiation source is to ensure a more effective protection against debris and, in particular, to counteract secondary sputtering. A target flow that is provided by a target generator by means of a target nozzle and a plasma that is generated by a pulsed excitation beam are enclosed within a vacuum chamber by a gas flow directed transverse to the optical axis.

    摘要: A fractional-N PLL synthesizer has an up-down counter counting up for positive edges of a frequency-divided signal produced by a frequency divider with a fractional divide ratio in a feedback path of the synthesizer and down for positive edges of a reference signal. A phase offset between portions of the synthesizer signal before and after a loss-of-lock interval is then assessed as a numerical value proportional to the product of the divide ratio and the cycle difference registered by the up-down counter (36) after the loss-of-lock interval. A correction term derived from the phase offset can be used in a signal processing device as employed, e.g., in a GNSS receiver, for producing, from an analog input signal, a phase-corrected baseband signal where portions of the signal before and after loss of lock are phase coherent.
