Hi, I have attached my project structure picture, it contains signal up and down conversion.
I use NI 5783 to generate two sinusoidal IF signals, IIF and QIF.
Then I input this two signals into IQ modulator, and finding that when I update the IF signal, sometimes the RF signal's amplitude at fLO-fIF is strong, sometimes at fLO+fIF is strong. To find out the reason, I wired ni 5783 AO to AI directly. Using the Arctan function to do calculation on AI, it show that Arctan (I/Q) is bouncing 90 degree each time when I update the NI 5783 AO signal.
The way I create two quadrature signals is modifying the NI 5783 example, based on sine wave, I basically copy it and change the phase to be 90 degree lower to create a cosine signal.
Hope I can get answers from you guys!
Thank you
