1. A method comprising:
providing a calibration signal at a first frequency corresponding to a low frequency edge of a desired passband to an input of a filter;
measuring a first value at an output of the filter;
providing the calibration signal at a second frequency corresponding to a high frequency edge of the desired passband to the input of the filter;
measuring a second value at the output of the filter;
comparing the first value to the second value; and
changing a characteristic of the filter in response to the comparing.
