Hi.
>The inband IIP3 for WCDMA is specified @ 10MHz offset.
IIP3 is component's specification not WCDMA specification.
Instead of IIP3, IM sensitivity requirement is specified in WCDMA,
Interferences are defined like followings.
U1 ; Non-Modulated Interference +10MHz apart from Desired Signal
U2 ; Modulated Interference +20MHz apart from Desired Signal
For component level design, you have to translate IM sensitivity to IIP3.
If you have Filter limiting IF bandwidth, you must compensate this effect
for tranlating IM sensitivity to IIP3.

I can't understand your question.
What does it mean by "2 tones @ 10/20.5MHz" ?
You mean RF1=LO+10MHz, RF2=LO+20.5MHz, IM3=0.5MHz and 31MHz ?

I can't understand your sentence. ???
With LPF of fc=8MHz, RF1=LO+10MHz, RF2=LO+20.5MHz,
resulting frequencies at IF port are IF1=10MHz, IF2=20.5MHz, IM3=0.5MHz.
You mean IF1 and IF2 are out of pass band ? ???

(1) Determine substitute RF1, RF2 and IIP3 where all IF1, IF2 and IM3 are with in in-band.
(2) Apply loss due to LPF for IF1 and IF2.
There are other methods.
Which methods you use is your own task. :-/
