Change center frequency of I, Q values

Hi All,
I use a samplig card with DDC(Digital Down Conversion with quadrature
mixer and filter to eliminate frequency at 2*fc) that provides me
directly I, Q values of the signal.

As the demodulation is performed offline, with the recorded point, the
values are not centered around the carrier of interest. I need to track
the center frequency of the carrier during the demodulation to
compensate important variation of doppler.

I have already the Costas Loop module programmed, but I don't how to
make the conversion of the I and Q to another frequency without
creating new 2fc composants, that I will need to filter later.

How can I center the I, Q by calcultation around the desired center
frequency, by calculation (I can't change the LO of the DDC) ?

Thanks for your help,

Raphael

You multiply your I,Q values by e^jwt where w is the delta angular frequency
by which you want to shift the current spectrum. w can be either positive or
negative depending on the direction of shift.

Just complex-multiply the DDC output signal by exp(j*2*pi*f*n/Fs),
where f is the frequency that you want to shift by in Hz and n is the
sample index. This won't create any unwanted components since it is a
complex mix.
