IQ balance is something that applies to a receiver or channel, not to a
signal. Dynamic/automatic balancing is the thing that only works in
limited situations. If you have a balance problem with a real receiver,
you can calibrate with an off-center tone, then put the results in the
manual fields. You may have to do this at each tuning frequency you
expect to use. Some SDRs do this internally.
Whether this makes sense to do in a GR flowgraph depends on what you're
trying to do.

Jeff, thank you for your tips. Actually I was testing it with another
flowgraph and was in a rush to create this simple example, that's why I
have fed original signal to these blocks. That's obvious mistake, thank
you for pointing it out.
I have added sliders in order to change IQ imbalance generator settings
in real-time as you suggested, and I can see that "IQ Balance Optimize"
block is adjusting its settings. Unfortunately, the output signal is
terribly deformed. I guess this is the case mentioned by Sylvain and
Marcus, and this block cannot work with such signal. It is a pity.
Nevertheless, I appreciate help of all of you.
Have a nice day!

Hi,

Indeed, I find that if I use the osmocom IQ-balance code on radio
astronomy "signals" that it produces horrible results in interferometry
applications, as
it never really "converges", and adds significant long-time-scale
phase-noise, so I disable it.
