Abstract

An apparatus of compensating for offset in a received signal generated from a forward path stage, includes a first peak detector for receiving a first signal from the forward path stage and capable of detecting a peak of the first signal; a second peak detector for receiving a second signal from the forward path stage and capable of detecting a peak of the second signal; a differential amplifier coupled to the first peak detector and the second peak detector and capable of generating an offset control signal; and a compensation stage coupled to the differential amplifier and capable of compensating for offset in the received signal in response to the offset control signal. A method of compensating for offset in a received signal includes detecting a level of a first signal from a forward path stage; detecting a level of a second signal from the forward path stage; and generating an offset control signal to reduce an offset in the received signal in response to the level difference of the first signal and the second signal.
