The TVRX isn't actually a quadrature front-end, so quadrature is
synthesized within the FPGA.

I don't think it's normal.  Something definitely wonky.   Are you using
UHD, or "traditional" ??

There was something *similar* in UHD a couple of months back, but it was
for USRP2, so I don't
  think that's it.
