A D.C. offset canceling and gain adjusting techniques permitting completion of correction of D.C. offsets and gain adjustment of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals in a radio communication system are provided. A communication semiconductor integrated circuit has a plurality of low-pass filters and variable gain amplifiers which are alternately connected in multiple stages, and high gain amplifier circuits for amplifying reception signals to a predetermined amplitude level. Offset cancellation values are generated by detecting D.C. offsets of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals according to a set gain, and stored into a memory, and read out of the memory to cancel the D.C. offsets of the amplifiers when starting reception and altering the gain. Gain setting in a high gain amplifying section is accomplished using rough and precise settings.

The invention comprises: processing for receiving an OFDM packet having a preamble and the following data transmission symbol, in which packet the subcarrier interval of the preamble is set wider than that of the data transmission symbol; processing for estimating a DC offset occurring at a receiving side by using the received preamble; processing for correcting the DC offset on the received data transmission symbol, according to the estimation result of the DC offset; and processing for demodulating the DC offset corrected data transmission symbol. Thus, it is possible to estimate a DC offset and then correct the DC offset according to the estimated value, in the OFDM packet with no nul symbol defined there.

A wireless LAN system has auto gain control with no work load applied to its baseband processing block. When the wireless LAN system gets ready to receive a signal, the gain control circuit switches between the receiving antennas. The gain control circuit sets gain setting value time divisional data according to the level of a received signal to roughly control the gain to be set in the LAN and the gain to be set in two programmable gain amplifiers.

A D.C. offset canceling technique and a gain adjusting technique permitting completion of correction of D.C. offsets and gain adjustment of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals in a relatively short period of time in a radio communication system, such as a wireless LAN, are to be provided. A communication semiconductor integrated circuit (high frequency IC) has a plurality each of low-pass filters and variable gain amplifiers which are alternately connected in multiple stages, and high gain amplifier circuits for amplifying reception signals to a predetermined amplitude level while eliminating unnecessary waves. Offset cancellation values are generated by detecting in advance D.C. offsets of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals according to a set gain, and stored into a memory, and read out of the memory to cancel the D.C. offsets of the amplifiers at the time of starting reception and altering the gain. Gain setting in a high gain amplifying section for amplifying reception signals is accomplished in two steps, rough setting and precise setting.
