Receiving is where things can be more complicated. Most (all) integrated transceivers include some sort of Quadrature tracking corrections which try to ensure the signals are correct, and any imperfections in the chip or external circuitry (balun, non-differential traces, etc) are removed. | Receiving is where things can be more complicated.

- | While the frequency domain plot does look close to the same, but we can see that the amplitude is jumping up and down by a few dB. (which is impossible to show in a static picture like this). | + | While the frequency domain plot looks the same, we can see that the amplitude is jumping up and down by a few dB (which is impossible to show in a static picture like this). |

- | Its easier to look at this in the time domain. Here the amplitude difference between I & Q is random based on the random difference between the phase of the Rx and Tx PLL. This is indeed completely random and will change any time either PLL settings are touched. Moving one LO to a different setting, and back again, will change this phase offset (which manifest itself as a magnitude difference between I and Q). | + | It' |
