Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods and apparatus for compensating DC offset in a filter having a plurality of transconductance pieces. In one implementation, the method includes measuring a corresponding DC offset associated with each transconductance piece of the plurality of transconductance pieces; storing each measured DC offset corresponding to each transconductance piece of the plurality of transconductance pieces; selecting one or more of the plurality of transconductance pieces to be used during operation of the filter; deriving an aggregate amount of DC offset for the one or more selected transconductance pieces, the aggregate amount of DC offset being derived based on each stored DC offset value corresponding to each selected transconductance piece; and applying the derived aggregate amount of DC offset to the one or more selected transconductance pieces to compensate for the DC offset during the operation of the filter.
