What does 'I port configuration' mean?

I-port configuration refers to whether the I and Q ports are on the top or the bottom of the package/device, and it is only relevant for surface mount or chip components (not connectorized modules, which you can just flip upside down). It allows the designer another degree of freedom in circuit layout. Most surface mount and chip components are available in our standard -2 configuration, but a -1 version could be made with a minimum buy quantity.
