State
Activates/deactivates digital I/Q impairment.
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 set-
ting.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:IMPairment:STATe
[:SOURce]:BB:IMPairment:IQOutput<ch>:STATe
I/Q Offset
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).
For more information, see
Chapter 7.3.2.1, "I and Q Offset"
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:IMPairment:LEAKage:I
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:IMPairment:LEAKage:Q
[:SOURce]:BB:IMPairment:IQOutput<ch>:LEAKage:I
[:SOURce]:BB:IMPairment:IQOutput<ch>:LEAKage:Q
Gain Imbalance
Sets the imbalance of the I and Q vector (see
Chapter 7.3.2.2, "Gain and Gain Imbal-
The entry is made in dB (default) or %, where 1 dB offset is roughly 12 % according to
the following:
Imbalance [dB] = 20log ( | GainQ | / | GainI |)
