Abstract
A method of processing an amplitude-modulated analog signal at a carrier frequency Fc comprises: digitizing the analog signal to produce an input bit stream that represents the amplitude of the analog signal; generating an in-phase reference bit stream that is synchronous to the carrier frequency Fc and represents an in-phase digital reference signal substantially in the form of a sine and/or cosine wave; and multiplying the input bit stream with the in-phase reference bit stream to produce an output bit stream representing the amplitude modulation of the analog signal.
