ABSTRACT:
A D.C. offset canceling and gain adjusting techniques permitting completion of correction of D.C. offsets and gain adjustment of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals in a radio communication system are provided. A communication semiconductor integrated circuit has a plurality of low-pass filters and variable gain amplifiers which are alternately connected in multiple stages, and high gain amplifier circuits for amplifying reception signals to a predetermined amplitude level. Offset cancellation values are generated by detecting D.C. offsets of amplifiers for amplifying reception signals according to a set gain, and stored into a memory, and read out of the memory to cancel the D.C. offsets of the amplifiers when starting reception and altering the gain. Gain setting in a high gain amplifying section is accomplished using rough and precise settings.
