Abstract: A method of processing a signal by non-uniform quantization of log likelihood ratios is disclosed. A method comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of bits; calculating a log likelihood ratio, known as a LLR, for each bit; providing a LLR value for each bit based on the calculated LLR; quantizing the LLR values into a plurality of quantization bins, each quantization bin having: a width representative of one or more LLR values; and an index value having a bit length; and associating each bit with the index value that corresponds to its LLR value, wherein the width of each quantization bin is non-uniform. This compresses the LLR values in a more efficient manner, requiring lower memory usage and/or lower bandwidth. A chip for a receiver and a communication system comprising one or more receivers are also disclosed.

Abstract: A metrology apparatus uses radiation (304) in an EUV waveband. A first detection system (333) includes a spectroscopic grating (312) and a detector (313) for capturing a spectrum of the EUV radiation after interaction with a target (T). Properties of the target are measured by analyzing the spectrum. The radiation (304) further includes radiation in other wavebands such as VUV, DUV, UV, visible and IR. A second detection system (352, 372, 382) is arranged to receive at least a portion of radiation (350) reflected by the first spectroscopic grating and to capture a spectrum (SA) in one or more of said other wavebands. The second waveband spectrum can be used to enhance accuracy of the measurement based on the EUV spectrum, and/or it can be used for a different measurement. Other types of detection, such as polarization can be used instead or in addition to spectroscopic gratings.
