PCT No. PCT/FI97/00072 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 9, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 9, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 6, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/29551 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 14, 1997The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for reducing the offset voltage of a signal. The invention can be applied preferably in direct conversion receivers which are used, for example, in mobile stations used in digital time-division cellular systems. According to the invention, the direct voltage component of a signal is separated by a capacitor (C1) and the offset voltage is reduced by connecting a second signal (S2) to the output (P2) of the capacitor, the amplitude of this signal being determined on the basis of a first signal (S1) preceding the capacitor (C1). The second signal (S2) is formed preferably by high-pass filtering said first signal (S1) and by summing a reference voltage (Vref) to the high-pass filtered signal (S3). By using the solution according to the invention, it is possible to reduce the offset voltage also when there are no breaks in the received baseband signal.
