Thank you very much!!
Then, I cannot measure a constant because, in the RX chain, maybe, some filter deletes the information, doesn't it?
Thank you for your time and tour tips!

Best Regards,

Simona

Look up what a quadrature modulator does. It's just a multiplication
with e^{j2\pi f_{carrier}t}, in the end.

Your constant signal s(t) = c const. would hence be transmitted as

c·e^{j2\pi f_{carrier}t}

whereas a complex sinusoid of frequency f and amplitude a,
s(t) = a·e^{j2\pi f t) would be transmitted as

a·e^{j2\pi f t)·e^{j2\pi f_{carrier}t} = a·e^{j2\pi (f+f_{carrier})t}

so, identical to the constant signal, just at a different frequency.

Best regards,
Marcus
