I/Q Diagram
The I/Q diagram displays the in-phase component (i[t]) and quadrature component
(q[t]) of the I/Q signal over time.
Figure 8-1: I/Q diagram with markers
= window with two separate coordinate systems with identical X and Y axes
X-axis = time represented as number of symbols, chips, or samples depending on the signal
Y-axes = amplitude, scaled to the peak envelope power; where minimum scaled amplitude = -1, maximum
scaled amplitude = +1
Application: To analyze impairments, fading, added noise and added signals (e.g.
from external baseband input or from second path) in the time domain. This mode
shows the signal like an oscilloscope.
Signal acquisition points: See Table 8-2.
