     * \brief A Costas loop carrier recovery module.

     * \ingroup digital
     *  
     * The Costas loop locks to the center frequency of a signal and
     * downconverts it to baseband. The second (order=2) order loop
     * is used for BPSK where the real part of the output signal is
     * the baseband BPSK signal and the imaginary part is the error
     * signal. When order=4, it can be used for quadrature
     * modulations where both I and Q (real and imaginary) are
     * outputted.
     *
     * More details can be found online:
     *
     * J. Feigin, "Practical Costas loop design: Designing a simple
     * and inexpensive BPSK Costas loop carrier recovery circuit," RF
     * signal processing, pp. 20-36, 2002.
     *

     *  
     * The Costas loop can have two output streams:
     *    stream 1 is the baseband I and Q;
     *    stream 2 is the normalized frequency of the loop
