I output means that the IF output signal is measured at the I port of the mixer and the Q port is loaded. Q output means the IF output signal is measured at the Q port of the mixer while the I port is loaded.

⁴Image Rejection and Single sideband performance plots are defined by the upper sideband (USB) or lower sideband (LSB) with respect to the LO signal. Plots are defined by which sideband is selected by the external IF quadrature hybrid.
