OK, clearly there is an advantage to that... Does preserve the original carrier for traceability (sorta, it does get inverted in phase from time to time)... And the actual I channel of a Costas loop directly out of the I double balanced mixer should have a plus and minus signal one could low pass filter and feed to a simple zero cross detector to control the phase flip. And if this is done by flipping carrier out of the TRF stage via a DBM or analog switch and inverter it should preserve the AM modulation on the original unless the TRF stage acts as a limiter... -- Dave Emery N1PRE/AE, d...@dieconsulting.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass 02493 "An empty zombie mind with a forlorn barely readable weatherbeaten 'For Rent' sign still vainly flapping outside on the weed encrusted pole - in celebration of what could have been, but wasn't and is not to be now either." _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
