Abstract

Included in the present general inventive concept are a receiving data compensating method to improve a data receiving rate and a receiving modem circuit thereof. The receiving data compensating method may include measuring a receiving characteristic offset based on characteristics of a receiver according to first and second state data. After measuring the receiving characteristic offset, a first data sample time offset to correspond to the first state data and a second data sample time offset to correspond to the second state data are independently decided. The decided first and second data sample time offsets are applied during compensation of receiving data received through a receiver. A near field communication (NFC) multimedia device may implement the receiving data compensation method.
