Hello Javier,

the "slantedness" of the constant frequency tone (the fact that it's not
a perfect circle) looks like quite a bit of IQ imbalance to me – how
many samples are those? What frequency did you work with?

The other two graphs, based on the const freq graph, look familiar – one
"swing" has about the shape of the const freq loop, and it slowly
rotates – the effect of the frequency difference between transmitter and
receiver.

So, what worries me is the fact that your constant frequency plot
doesn't have the same dimension in I and Q!

Best regards,

Marcus
