It is an object of the present invention to provide a DC offset correction
means capable of correctly performing DC offset correction even when
transmitting a non-modulation signal in radio communication equipment for
performing orthogonal modulation by a direct RF modulation method. The DC
offset correction device comprises a fixed value setting unit for setting
a value for outputting a non-modulation signal with a specific phase from
a modulator, a non-modulation signal switch unit for switching between a
main signal and the value set by the fixed value setting unit and a DC
offset correction control unit for sequentially changing the specific
phase of the non-modulation signal outputted from the modulator by
sequentially changing the value set by the fixed value setting unit and
operating a DC offset correction value to be added to an input signal by
a DC offset correction unit, based on feedback signal data generated from
the non-modulation signal whose phase is sequentially changed.
