     abstract = "{This letter presents a dual-quadrature phasemeter, an implementation of
        a phase-locked loop designed to track the phase of homodyne and
        heterodyne intersatellite laser links. Dual-quadrature
        phasemeters use dual-quadrature optical detection to enable an
        alternate phase readout scheme that operates with wider
        bandwidths and on signals with carrier-frequency differences
        down to dc. Analytical modeling demonstrates that dual-
        quadrature phasemeters overcome the bandwidth limitations of
        conventional phasemeters. Numerical simulations of noise
        linearity tests found that the phase-tracking error of the dual-
        quadrature phasemeter is less than 10 microcycle/Hz in the
        presence of nonlinear cyclic errors. The dual-quadrature
        phasemeter enables exploration of an optical configuration for
        retroreflector-based space geodesy missions with architecture
        similar to that implemented in the Gravity Recovery and Climate
        Experiment Follow-On mission. One such alternate configuration
        is proposed that is capable of tracking satellite separation
        without requiring a frequency offset between local and incoming
        light, eliminating the need for optical frequency shifters.}",
