I'm not sure you know the signal from a resolver. No need for anything non linear, it's pure sampling.

Sorry, I was really just commenting on the bit about the envelope detector.--- bit "tongue in cheek".

Well you're not wrong, just old fashioned  :)

In a classic resolver you'd multiply the excitation carrier with the sin/cos signals to extract the polarity of sin/cos. Is a multiplier is non-linear? Dunno how to classify it.
Today its all digitized with fast ADCs.

Both classical & digital methods do generate unwanted mixing products which weren't originally there in the received signal, though.
Aliasing in the sampling of a DSO is the most obvious case--- of course, that is in a wide band amplitude/ phase response device, so it will be a much greater problem.
 
Both classical & modern methods find ways to cancel or filter out  the unwanted products----- they just use different methods.

To me, sampling near as dammit = mixing---- but, then, I'm old fashioned! :D
