The invention relates to a direct conversion receiver and a method in a
direct conversion receiver for processing received radio signals that are
modulated and centered at a carrier frequency, the modulation extending a
sideband above and below the carrier frequency. The method comprises the
steps of mixing a local oscillator frequency signal with said received
radio signals for generating baseband frequency signals; filtering out
generated disturbing direct current (DC) components of said baseband
signals centered at the zero frequency; setting said local oscillator
frequency signal equal to or about the carrier frequency plus an offset
frequency, said offset frequency being equal to the difference between
the carrier frequency and a null frequency, said null frequency centered
at a notch of said sideband; and centering said notch at the zero
frequency of said baseband signals through mixing. The invention relates
particularly to suppression of DC offsets generated in the receivers.
