As usual, the signal icons of the enabled channels show the current settings. In I/Q
mode, the I/Q settings are shown, see Figure 17-3. The left signal icon shows a com-
plex input signal in IF range with carrier frequency 1 MHz and normal/upper sideband.
C1 is the in-phase component, C2 the quadrature component. The right signal icon
shows a real input signal with carrier frequency 1 MHz. C1 has inverse sideband, C2
has normal sideband.

Enable
Enables the I/Q mode to record I/Q data.
The analyzing tools on the toolbar are deactivated, and the magnitude of the I/Q vector
is displayed.

Input sample rate
Shows the sample rate of capturing the input data in I/Q mode: 20 Gsample/s.
If you use R&S RTP134 or R&S RTP164 instruments, you can change the sample rate
to 40 Gsample/s. In this case, only 2 channels are available for real RF signals, or one
complex channel. For input, Ch 1 and Ch 3 are used, Ch 2 and Ch 4 are not available.
The higher sample rate also reduces the acquisition range.

Input type, Input mode
"Input type" sets the format of the input signal. "Input mode" selects the frequency
band of a complex input signal.
The R&S RTP I/Q software interface supports three formats of input signals.
