The reason is that you can remove the DC offset by applying a DC
blocking filter since there is no information around DC. The DC offset
is a very big problem in receiver design and it is much larger in
Direct-Conversion receiver.

Hi~ everybody~
I have one thing about OFDM to want to know.
In general OFDM system, DC sub-carrier is not used, that is, null is
inserted there.
Suddenly I come to curious about the reason.
According to the some documents that I found in the web, the reason is
due to direct conversion which cannot pass DC component.
Is it correct?
and is it the only reason why DC sub-carrier was stuffed with zero?
Any response would be helpful to me.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
