Abstract:
A direct-conversion receiver includes an analog stage for receiving an incident signal from a transmission channel, mixers and programmable-gain amplifiers. The receiver further includes at least one compensation module having input and output terminals respectively connected between the output of the mixers and the input of the programmable-gain amplifiers. The compensation module compensates for both a static DC voltage offset and a possible dynamic DC voltage offset of the analog stage.
