I/Q data may also be used as a means to capture and store data used in spectrum monitoring. [3] Since I/Q allows the representation of the modulation separate to the actual carrier frequency, it is possible to represent a capture of all the radio traffic in some RF band or section thereof, with a reasonable amount of data, irrespective of the
IQ imbalance is a performance-limiting issue in the design of a class of radio receivers known as direct conversion receivers. [a] These translate the received radio frequency (RF, or pass-band) signal directly from the carrier frequency to baseband using a single mixing stage.
Frequency modulation and phase modulation are the two complementary principal methods of angle modulation; phase modulation is often used as an intermediate step to achieve frequency modulation. These methods contrast with amplitude modulation , in which the amplitude of the carrier wave varies, while the frequency and phase remain constant.

The lower frequency band occupied by the modulation signal is called the baseband, while the higher frequency band occupied by the modulated carrier is called the passband. [citation needed] In analog modulation, an analog modulation signal is "impressed" on the carrier.
Low-pass filtering r(t) removes the high frequency terms (containing 4πf c t), leaving only the I(t) term. This filtered signal is unaffected by Q(t), showing that the in-phase component can be received independently of the quadrature component. Similarly, we can multiply s c (t) by a sine wave and then low-pass filter to extract Q(t).
In a frequency or phase modulated signal, the signal amplitude is constant, so the points lie on a circle around the origin. The carrier representing each symbol can be created by adding together different amounts of a cosine wave representing the "I" or in-phase carrier, and a sine wave, shifted by 90° from the I carrier called the "Q" or ...
Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation process which conveys data by changing (modulating) the phase of a constant frequency carrier wave. The modulation is accomplished by varying the sine and cosine inputs at a precise time. It is widely used for wireless LANs, RFID and Bluetooth communication.
