3.10 IQ Mismatch Calibration

TI's MMICs (except for the AWR294x) have a complex receiver chain with both I and Q channels available for each receiver. The RF loopback structures are used to measure the any inter-IQ gain and phase mismatch and correct for it. This calibration is done only at RfInit (boot time). This calibration is not applicable for the AWR294x because it has a real only receiver chain.
