 * \brief quadrature demodulator: complex in, float out
 * \ingroup modulators_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This can be used to demod FM, FSK, GMSK, etc.  The input is complex
 * baseband, output is the signal frequency in relation to the sample
 * rate, multiplied with the gain.
 *
 * Mathematically, this block calculates the product of the one-sample
 * delayed input and the conjugate undelayed signal, and then calculates
 * the argument of the resulting complex number:
 *
 * \f$y[n] = \mathrm{arg}\left(x[n] \, \bar x [n-1]\right)\f$.
 *
 * Let \f$x\f$ be a complex sinusoid with amplitude \f$A>0\f$, (absolute)
 * frequency \f$f\in\mathbb R\f$ and phase \f$\phi_0\in[0;2\pi]\f$ sampled at
 * \f$f_s>0\f$ so, without loss of generality,
 *
 * \f$x[n]= A e^{j2\pi( \frac f{f_s} n + \phi_0)}\f$
 *
 * then
 *
 * \f{align*}{ y[n] &= \mathrm{arg}\left(A e^{j2\pi\left( \frac f{f_s} n + \phi_0\right)}
 * \overline{A e^{j2\pi( \frac f{f_s} (n-1) + \phi_0)}}\right)\\
 *  & = \mathrm{arg}\left(A^2 e^{j2\pi\left( \frac f{f_s} n + \phi_0\right)} e^{-j2\pi(
 * \frac f{f_s} (n-1) + \phi_0)}\right)\\
 *  & = \mathrm{arg}\left( A^2 e^{j2\pi\left( \frac f{f_s} n + \phi_0 - \frac f{f_s} (n-1)
 * - \phi_0\right)}\right)\\
 *  & = \mathrm{arg}\left( A^2 e^{j2\pi\left( \frac f{f_s} n - \frac f{f_s}
 * (n-1)\right)}\right)\\
 *  & = \mathrm{arg}\left( A^2 e^{j2\pi\left( \frac f{f_s}
 * \left(n-(n-1)\right)\right)}\right)\\
 *  & = \mathrm{arg}\left( A^2 e^{j2\pi \frac f{f_s}}\right) \intertext{$A$ is real, so is
 * $A^2$ and hence only \textit{scales}, therefore $\mathrm{arg}(\cdot)$ is invariant:} &=
 * \mathrm{arg}\left(e^{j2\pi \frac f{f_s}}\right)\\
 *  &= \frac f{f_s}\\
