Abstract

In a method for compensating D.C. offset in a direct conversion receiver by a signal (IF.sub.-- I, IF.sub.-- Q) received and demodulated in one of the channels of the reception frequency band of a radio communication system, a correction signal (Q.sub.control) is produced from the signals in the channels of the reception frequency band. The correction signal (Q.sub.control) is combined with the demodulated signal. The apparatus for implementing the method comprises means (12, 17, 18, 19) for producing the correction signal, and means (15, 16) for combining the correction signal with the received and demodulated signal.
