1. An active stylus receiving circuit for receiving vector data signal transmitted by an active stylus, the vector data signal carrying vector data including in-phase data and quadrature data, the active stylus receiving circuit comprising:
an analog-to-digital converter for sampling and converting the vector data signal into digital signal with a plurality of sampling points;
an interpolation circuit for performing interpolating operation on the digital signal to increase the number of sampling points representing the digital signal so as to generate interpolated digital signal; and
a demodulation circuit for performing demodulating operation on the interpolated digital signal to generate demodulated in-phase data and demodulated quadrature data, so as to obtain demodulated vector data, wherein the digital signal generated after the interpolation circuit performs interpolating operation is:
