Transceiver system supporting receiver self calibration and methods of performing the same

A self-calibrating transceiver, comprising:

• a baseband processor;
• a receiver chain comprising a digital front end (DFE);
• a transmitter chain;
• a step function generator;
• and
• a calibration control state machine in electrical communication with the receiver chain,
• wherein the calibration control state machine is configured to switch a signal path of the receiver chain to include a step function generated by the step function generator, and
• wherein the DFE is configured to measure a response to the generated step function and transmit the measured step response to the calibration control state machine, and
• wherein the calibration control state machine is configured to determine a filter corner, based on the measured step response, and adjust at least one electrical component of the receiver chain, based on the determined filter corner.
