I'm not with you...I/Q demodulation replaces the PLL altogether..demodulation being done ta baseband rather than the carrier frequency.You won't need a PLL...please explain. Shytot

(how) does coherent sampling (used primarily in A/D testing?) differ from
I/Q demodulation? Say for instance I'm using I/Q to close a PLL. In this
case the 'sine wave' I'm locked to is being sampled at x4 the sine
frequency. This would seem to satisfy the coherent sampling requirement
that regarding the digitizer clock. 

next question - coherent sampling removes the need for windowing in FFT
application. If instead of FFT one wants to run the output of the I/Q
demod thru a lowpass FIR, would the 'coherent sampling' remove the need
for windowing to remove passband ripple?
