Abstract:
1. A circuit for removing a frequency offset of a baseband signal, the circuit comprising: a sampling circuit which samples a frequency level of the baseband signal at every first interval to obtain a sequence of sample levels; a first difference absolute value calculating part which calculates first absolute values of differences between the frequency levels adjacent to each other at every second interval having two times length of the first interval based on an arbitrary first frequency level of the sample levels as a plurality of first difference absolute values; a second difference absolute value calculating part which calculates second absolute values of differences between the frequency levels adjacent to each other at every interval of the second interval based on a second frequency level of the sample levels after the first interval from the first frequency level as a plurality of second difference absolute values; first comparing parts which compare the plurality of first difference absolute values with a predetermined first determination value to generate first comparison result values; second comparing parts which compare the plurality of second difference absolute values with a predetermined second determination value to generate second comparison result values; an average calculating part which calculates an average value based on the sequence of the sample levels; and a frequency offset holding part which includes a non-selecting part in which a non-selection signal indicative of non-selection of at least one comparison result value of the first and second comparison result values is input, and which sets the average value calculated by the average calculating part into the frequency offset when the first comparison result values other than the at least one comparison result value corresponding to the non-selecting signal indicate that the first difference absolute values are greater than the first determination value or the second comparison result values other than the at least one comparison result value corresponding to the non-selecting signal indicate that the second difference absolute values are less than the second determination value.
