Abstract

Methods and systems for recovering a DC component in a zero-IF radio receiver are disclosed that involve receiving a frequency modulated radio frequency broadcast signal, down-converting the frequency modulated radio frequency broadcast signal directly to an original baseband frequency signal, wherein the original baseband frequency signal includes an original DC component, filtering the original baseband signal to obtain a filtered baseband signal, wherein the original DC component is removed, analyzing modulus values of the filtered baseband signal to determine an estimated quantity for the original DC component, and adding the estimated quantity for the original DC component to the filtered baseband signal to compensate for removal of the original DC component such that a reconstructed baseband signal is obtained.
