The speed of dark is your friend. I can't help but think there is a way 
to take advantage of the delay when a signal goes down a coax to 
generate the first derivative or rate of change of a signal. Suppose you 
put your signal into an op amp non-inverting input. And you run that 
same signal through 3 ft of coax to the inverting input of that op amp. 
The inputs are 3 nanoseconds apart. The output of the op amp is the 
instantaneous first derivative. By sampling this at a fixed rate we have 
the first derivative of the desired signal. Essentially this is what the 
quadrature sampling does. There must be a way to take advantage of this 
coax delay to demodulate signals :-)
