1. A system for signal processing comprising:

  • a steady state demodulator system for receiving a modulated signal and demodulating the modulated signal if the modulated signal has been acquired, and outputting the modulated signal if the modulated signal has not been acquired; and

    a general purpose processing system coupled to the steady state demodulator system, the general purpose processing system comprising;

    a signal acquisition system for receiving the modulated signal and generating acquisition data;

    wherein the steady state processing system can receive the acquisition data from the signal acquisition system and use the acquisition data to acquire the signal; and

    wherein the signal acquisition system comprises a phase offset system for determining a phase offset and generating phase correction data, wherein the phase offset system is inactive, in an idle state and consuming no power prior to receipt of control data from a steady state interface system and provides the phase correction data for provision to the steady state demodulator system.
