Planar complex unsigned 18-bit big endian IQ sample
Description
===========
This format contains a sequence of complex number samples. Each complex
number consist of two parts called In-phase and Quadrature (IQ). Both I
and Q are represented as a 18 bit unsigned big endian number stored in
32 bit space. The remaining unused bits within the 32 bit space will be
padded with 0. I value starts first and Q value starts at an offset
equalling half of the buffer size (i.e.) offset = buffersize/2. Out of
the 18 bits, bit 17:2 (16 bit) is data and bit 1:0 (2 bit) can be any
value.
**Byte Order.**
Each cell is one byte.
