A complex (IQ) mixing step is used to move the signal from IF (100-400MHz) to baseband. ... IQ mixing needs the phase bewteen the I,Q output signal to be close to 90 degrees. ... The signal goes through the IQ mixer, 75 Mhz bandpass filters, spliters, amps , and then two the digitizers. ... For the low band (100-240) we used an IF filter covering 140-200. Data sets were taken with an LO of 205 and then 215 to separate out the phase offsets in the 75 Mhz baseband filters and the I,Q mixer. ...
