A quadrature NCO is really easy to do in software, you figure out
the angle for each sample interval:

   Thanks for the explanations. I was sure you had used a high stability
   reference, but was
   unsure of which one. I have played as well with the concept of a
   Software Defined Radio,
   but, hardware-wise, my project is much less sophisticated than yours.
   I just make use of
   the left and right channels of a sound card to digitize the I and Q
   signals from a a quadrature
   mixer. Then the software does the final quadrature conversion to
   baseband, bandpass filtering,
   denoising and demodulation. You can see my software here :
