A communications system redness downconverter inaccuracies in time-domain measurements or samples of received microwave communications I and Q complex signals by converting received signal to baseband taking measurements or samples of the I and Q waveforms at differing phase shifts of a demodulating carrier signal for a local oscillator or carrier tracking loop used during downconversion so that I and Q imbalances may be detected and removed by lowpass equivalent averaging for improved characterization of downconverters or for improved signal reception. In the preferred form, the phase shifts are 0 and pi/2 for a conventional measurement, and then at theta, and theta+pi/2, with theta=pi/4+mpi/2 for an integer m for the second measurement where I and Q imbalances and baseband monlinearities are indicated by differences between the two measured or sampled signals, where theta provides for optimum error detection for reducing the errors by averaging the measurements.
