  • Publication number: 20220308163
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multitarget constant false alarm rate detection method based on the signal proxy, which belongs to the technical field of radar constant false alarm rate detection. The method realizes target detection by utilizing the correlation between linear measurements of the radar intermediate frequency signal and the sensing matrix. To achieve a desired false alarm rate, the method determines the threshold by estimating the distributed parameters of the reduced sample set obtained by removing the detected targets from the original sample set. The method provided by the present disclosure can adapt to the sparsity of the signals, realize target detection without relying on the pre-estimated environmental background level, and effectively mitigate the multitarget shadowing effect.

This estimation method can effectively eliminate the influence of a phase error in direction-of-arrival estimation, and has better adaptability, which improves the resolution and estimation accuracy of the algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20220091047
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer is inspected using a main laser beam and a secondary laser beam. The secondary laser beam leads the main laser beam and has lower power than the main laser beam. Using the secondary laser beam, a particle is detected on the semiconductor wafer having a size that satisfies a threshold. In response to detecting the particle, the power of the main laser beam and the power of the secondary laser beam are reduced. The particle passes through the main laser beam with the main laser beam at reduced power. After the particle has passed through the main laser beam with the main laser beam at the reduced power, the power of the main laser beam and the power of the secondary laser beam are restored in a controlled manner that is slower than a single step.
