if i want to tune the IQ imbalance, specially the quadrature imbalance, could you tell me some simple methods? i found it difficult for me, i mean, the analog approach, not digitally!
 

Ahhggg

Hot topic in analog IP. Search for IQ calibration on the free patent servers. The methods there are some years old but give you good introduction to the problems.
 

we r all talking about the IQ imbalance (90°), what about the 180 phase imbalance, considering about the differential signal. if the diff-signal is 180°±10° or more before the down-mixer, does it harm to the demodulation or not?
 

Yes the impact is LO leakage in RX goes up. But for a divider for IQ generation phase gets imbalanced.
