Choice: On | Off
Default: Off
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the internal channel correction off or on.
Choice: Off | On
Default: Off
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the I/Q adjustments On or Off.
On – The values entered for I Offset, Q Offset, and so on are applied to the I and Q signals.
Off – I/Q adjustment values are not applied to the I and Q signals.
Range: -20% to 20 % (-25% to 25% for M9381A)
Step: 0.025%
Default: 0.000%
Enter a DC offset value to apply to the I signal before the I/Q modulator. Use this offset to remove imperfections in the in-phase signal or to introduce calibrated impairments.
When using this setting to minimize the LO feed-through signal, optimum performance is achieved when the adjustment is made after any other I/Q path adjustments. If other adjustments are made after minimization is performed, the LO feed-through signal may increase.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
Range: −20% to 20% (-25% to 25% for M9381A)
Step: 0.025 %
Default: 0.000%
Enter a DC offset value to apply to the Q signal before the I/Q modulator. Use this offset to remove imperfections in the quadrature-phase signal or to introduce calibrated impairments.
When using this setting to minimize the LO feed-through signal, optimum performance is achieved when the adjustment is made after any other I/Q path adjustments. If other adjustments are made after minimization is performed, the LO feed-through signal may increase.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
Range: −1 dB to 1 dB
Default: 0.000 dB
Enter a gain ratio, by which I gain exceeds Q gain.
For example, if you enter a value of 1 dB, the I signal will have 1 dB more amplitude than the Q signal. Use the gain balance to remove imperfections in I and Q or introduce calibrated impairments.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
Range: -10 to 10 degrees
Default: 0.00 degrees
Enter a value to adjust the Q phase angle. When the quadrature skew is zero, the phase angle between the I and Q vectors is 90 degrees. Positive skew increases the angle from 90 degrees; negative skew decreases the angle from 90 degrees.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
Choice: RF | BB (Baseband)
Default: RF
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the I/Q timing skew path.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
This parameter is not available for all instrument model numbers and may be grayed out.
Choice: RF Output | External I/Q Output
Default: RF Output
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the I/Q correction optimized path.
RF Output − Optimizes the RF OUT path by applying calibration factors to only this path, leaving the I/Q OUT path uncalibrated.
External I/Q Output − Optimize the I/Q OUT path by applying calibration factors to only this path, leaving the RF OUT path uncalibrated.
This parameter is not available for all instrument model numbers and may be grayed out.
Range: -500 ns to 500 ns (-250 ns to 250 ns for M9381A)
Default: 0.0 seconds
Sets the time delay between I and Q. A positive value delays the I signal relative to the Q signal, and a negative value delays the Q signal relative to the I signal.
Enter a value to change the absolute phase of both I and Q with respect to triggers and markers. A positive value delays I and Q. This value affects both the external I/Q out signals and the baseband signal modulated on the RF output. This adjustment cannot be used with constant envelope modulation and does not affect external I/Q inputs.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this parameter.
Range: -250 ns to 250 ns
Default: 0.0 seconds
Enter a value to set the I/Q delay with respect to triggers and markers.
Set I/Q Adjustments to On to enable this feature.
