A Costas loop carrier recovery module.

The Costas loop locks to the center frequency of a signal and downconverts it to baseband. The second (order=2) order loop is used for BPSK where the real part of the output signal is the baseband BPSK signal and the imaginary part is the error signal. When order=4, it can be used for quadrature modulations where both I and Q (real and imaginary) are outputted.

Parameters:
alpha the loop gain used for phase adjustment
beta the loop gain for frequency adjustments
max_freq the maximum frequency deviation (normalized frequency) the loop can handle
min_freq the minimum frequency deviation (normalized frequency) the loop can handle
order the loop order, either 2 or 4
