I am looking for information that gives the mathematics of the output for an I/Q demodulator for various signals, such as for AM: C(t) = [i squared (t) + q squared (t)]1/2 power. And how to implement using analog circuitry.

Is this the math you want?

Hi Zachary, Thanks for the links. The CU lab write up was what I was looking for and is complementary to EMRFD clause 9.2 Introduction to the Math. What I meant by how to implement using analog circuitry is how to implement a squaring function, a square root function, an arctan function, and a differentiation function using analog circuitry.

Here is a datasheet for a chip that does analog computations.
