State
Activates the impairment of the I/Q signal.
If activated, the settings for I/Q offset, I/Q imbalance, and quadrature offset become
effective.

I/Q Offset
Sets a carrier offset (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 car-
rier offset completely (offset = 0 percent).

Gain Imbalance
Sets the imbalance of the I and Q vector.
The entry is made in dB (default) or %, where 1 dB offset is roughly 12% according to
the following:
Imbalance [dB] = 20log ( | GainQ | / | GainI |)
Positive values mean that the Q vector is amplified more than the I vector by the corre-
sponding percentage. Negative values have the opposite effect.
