The invention relates to a direct conversion receiver and a method in a direct conversion receiver for processing received radio signals that are modulated and centered at a carrier frequency, the modulation extending a sideband above and below the carrier frequency. The method comprises the steps of mixing a local oscillator frequency signal with said received radio signals for generating baseband frequency signals; filtering out generated disturbing direct current (DC) components of said baseband signals centered at the zero frequency; setting said local oscillator frequency signal equal to or about the carrier frequency plus an offset frequency, said offset frequency being equal to the difference between the carrier frequency and a null frequency, said null frequency centered at a notch of said sideband; and centering said notch at the zero frequency of said baseband signals through mixing. The invention relates particularly to suppression of DC offsets generated in the receivers.
