Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for removing a Radio Frequency (RF) Direct Current (DC) offset in a signal. The method includes: subtracting a canceling DC from a signal carrying an RF DC offset and generating an RF DC offset residual; outputting the signal when the RF DC offset residual in the signal is zero; adjusting the canceling DC according to the RF DC offset residual in the signal if the RF DC offset residual is not zero. The system includes a receiver, an RF DC offset canceling unit, a determining unit, a canceling DC adjusting unit, and an output unit. With embodiments of the present invention, the RF DC offset in the signal may be effectively removed.
