Method for correcting DC offsets in a receiver
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of compensating for DC offset in a receiver, said method comprising:
- receiving a signal burst from a transmitter device;
storing said signal burst in a memory device;
performing joint and simultaneous Minimum Mean Square Error optimization with respect to a DC offset and a channel impulse associated with said signal burst so that a computed DC offset and a computed channel impulse are generated;
subtracting from said signal burst said computed DC offset forming a second signal burst indicative of said DC offset being removed from said signal burst; and
using said computed channel impulse to equalize said second signal burst so as to compute modulated components of said received signal burst.

Abstract
A method for reducing DC offset from a receiver signal. The method includes jointly (i.e., simultaneously) estimating such DC offset and channel impulse response, and reducing the DC offset in accordance with the estimated DC offset and the estimate of the channel impulse response.
