I am not sure to understand you fully. What you mean when you say that the demodulation is done for only the I or Q
signal ? What should happen is the following. If you connect only I or only Q, you should see the spectrum mirrored
about its center. The upper half is just repeated in the lower half, but reversed, as if it were reflected by a mirror.
If both I and Q are correctly connected and they have the right balance in amplitude and phase, then the lower and upper
half are independent, and each shows correctly its range of frequencies.

If connecting an external signal generator you see two peaks symmetric with respect to the band center, then something
is wrong with your hardware. Either one of the two I/Q is missing, or their amplitude/phase balance is completely wrong.

Do you use a quadrature DDS that produces I/Q LO ?

What you mean saying that the phase looked good on the scope ? What measure did you do ?
