Usually an IQ signal is generated from a real (RF, AF, etc.) signal by a radio (by quadrature heterodyne, Tayloe demodulation, complex vector arithmetic, or otherwise). However, if you need IQ data, and the radio only generates I (or real) component samples, a Hilbert transform can be used to generate “fake” Q components (an approximation by making some ...

Under the assumption that your words "extract the amplitude of those four components" actually mean "extract the spectral magnitudes of those four components", then the initial phases of the original four periodic signals do not matter. It's straightforward to prove this behavior by modeling your down-conversion process using software.
