Note also that, based on my limited experience, most commercial mixer implementations use a much faster beat note: 10, 100 Hz, even 1 kHz. A faster beat note may help your concern #1 above, and #2 below. Ulrich, One thing I forgot to mention earlier -- there is another advantage in using a

Hello Paul-Henning, www.tmo.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-121/121G.pdf definitely uses no FFT but uses a theoreme from geometry to estimate the signal's frequency and the rest is a two dimensional non-linear fit for amplitude and phase. But i am starting to understand how a FFT might be
