mode: internal baseband I/Q,
referenced to full-scale input
< –55 dBc
Suppression of image sideband for entire
instrument in modulation bandwidth
mode: internal baseband I/Q,
up to 80 MHz I/Q BW
> 50 dB, 60 dB (typ.)
Two-tone IMD (2 carriers)
PEP = 0 dBm
up to 80 MHz carrier spacing
< –40 dBc (typ.)
I/Q impairments (analog)
These impairments are set within the analog I/Q modulator section. They can be used
in external wideband I/Q mode and internal baseband I/Q mode. They cannot be
applied to the analog or digital I/Q outputs.
