When activated, the settings for carrier leakage, I/Q imbalance and quadrature offset
become effective.
Internal predistortion for compensating the I/Q modulator is not influenced by this setting.

I/Q Offset - Digital Impairments
Sets the carrier leakage (in percent) of the amplitudes (scaled to the peak envelope power
(PEP)) for the I and/or Q signal component.
An ideal I/Q modulator suppresses the carrier leakage completely (offset = 0 percent). If
an offset is entered for a component, a carrier leakage with fixed amplitude is added to
the signal. In the diagram, all I values or Q values are offset by a fixed amplitude value
depending on the entered percentage.
