ABSTRACT:
A signal demodulator and the method of using the same in a scanning probe microscope or the like to provide a feedback path with reduced latency are disclosed. The demodulator includes an input port, a first mixer and a first integrator. The input port receives an input signal having a frequency component at a signal frequency. The input signal is characterized by a signal amplitude at that frequency. The first mixer mixes the input signal with a first local oscillator signal at the signal frequency to generate a first mixed signal. The first integrator integrates the first mixed signal for an integer number of periods of the signal frequency to provide a first output signal.
