Abstract

A filter (200) having an input terminal (208), an output terminal (209), and a common terminal (210) includes two impedance inverters (201,202) and a first resonator (203) that is operable at a resonant frequency. Each impedance inverter (201, 202) is coupled to the common terminal (210) at a common node (223) and includes a corresponding input node (221,225) and output node (222, 226). The input node (221) of the first impedance inverter (201) is coupled to the input terminal (208). The input node (225) of the second impedance inverter (202) is coupled to the output node (222) of the first impedance inverter (201), while the output node (226) of the second impedance inverter (202) is coupled (e.g., via a second resonator (205)) to the output terminal (209). The first resonator (203) is coupled between the input terminal (208) and the output terminal (209).
