Quadrature Offset - Digital Impairments
Sets the quadrature offset.
An ideal I/Q modulator sets the phase angle to exactly 90 degrees. With a quadrature
offset, the phase angle between the I and Q vector deviates from the ideal 90 degrees,
the amplitudes of both components are of the same size. In the vector diagram, the
quadrature offset causes the coordinate system to shift.
A positive quadrature offset means a phase angle greater than 90 degrees:
