Description: Returns the standard deviation of I/Q gain imbalance estimates. I/Q gain imbalance is the ratio of the mean amplitude of the in-phase (I) signal to the mean amplitude of the quadrature-phase (Q) signal. This value is expressed in dB.

Note: If the magnitude of the carrier or the sample clock frequency offset is greater than 25 ppm, I/Q gain imbalance magnitude is greater than 3 dB, and quadrature skew magnitude is greater than 15 degrees, the estimates of these impairments might not be accurate.

Note: I/Q gain imbalance cannot be measured for signals with differential binary phase-shift keying (DBPSK) modulation. The DBPSK modulation corresponds to a data rate of 1 Mbps. The I/Q gain imbalance measurement may fail for other modulation schemes, for example, differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) and 8-PSK, if there are not enough constellation points in all quadrants of the I/Q phase plane. The DQPSK modulation corresponds to data rates of 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps, and the 8-PSK modulation corresponds to data rates of 22 Mbps and 33 Mbps.
