A DC-offset correction circuit (I 1 , Q 1 ) for a low-IF or zero-IF receiver, comprises a DC-offset control loop (O 1 , O 2 ) embodied by: a summing device ( 9 - 1, 9 - 2 ) having a signal path input ( 10 - 1, 10 - 2 ), a DC control input ( 11 - 1, 11 - 2 ), and a summing output ( 12 - 1, 12 - 2 ); and an offset determining means ( 15 - 1, 15 - 2 ) coupled between the summing output ( 12 - 1, 12 - 2 ) and the DC control input of the summing device ( 9 - 1, 9 - 2 ). The DC-offset correction circuit (I 1 , Q 1 ) further comprises a DC blocking circuit ( 17 - 1, 17 - 2 ) coupled to the summing output ( 12 - 1, 12 - 2 ) of the summing device ( 9 - 1, 9 - 2 ) and having a DC blocking output ( 18 - 1, 18 - 2 ) for providing an offset corrected output signal. The DC-offset control loop (O 1 , O 2 ) and the DC blocking circuit ( 17 - 1, 17 - 2 ) advantageously interact in correcting DC offset.
