Abstract

See full text

A demodulation system and method is used in a sensor system, such as a fi optic sensor system, that senses optical signals and modulates a phase generated carrier having a carrier frequency .omega..sub.c to form a modulated carrier. The modulated carrier is preferably undersampled at three times the carrier frequency (3.omega..sub.c), thereby maximizing the sensors' demodulated bandwidth relative to the sensors' sampling frequency. The undersampled, modulated carrier is orthogonally demodulated by multiplying the undersampled, modulated carrier by cos(.omega..sub.c (t.sub.o)) and sin(.omega..sub.c)(t.sub.o)) to extract even and odd harmonic components of the signal of interest. The even and odd harmonic components of the signal of interest are further demodulated by taking the square root of the sum of squares of the even and odd harmonic components, normalizing the even and odd harmonic components, and differentiating, cross-multiplying and differencing the normalized even and odd harmonic components to recover the signal of interest.
