    DC offsets in analog signals can be problematic if they are not removed. There are a few approaches to removing DC offsets, including using high-pass filters or estimating the offset with a low-pass filter and subtracting it from the original signal. Both analog and digital methods can be used, with digital methods offering more sophisticated algorithms. Common DC offset cancellation architectures include feed-forward, where the estimator receives the input signal, and feed-back, where it receives the corrected signal.
