1. A cross-coupled bandpass filter, comprising:
- a first resonator comprised of a first inductor and a first capacitor and having a first opening formed by two terminals of the first inductor, wherein the two terminals of the first inductor are electrically connected to each other through the first capacitor;
a second resonator comprised of a second inductor and a second capacitor and having a second opening formed by two terminals of the second inductor, wherein the two terminals of the second inductor are electrically connected to each other through the second capacitor and a first interconnecting inductor;
a third resonator comprised of a third inductor and a third capacitor and having a third opening formed by two terminals of the third inductor, wherein the two terminals of the third inductor are electrically connected to each other through the third capacitor and a second interconnecting inductor; and
a fourth resonator comprised of a fourth inductor and a fourth capacitor and having a fourth opening formed by two terminals of the fourth inductor, wherein the two terminals of the fourth inductor are electrically connected to each other through the fourth capacitor,wherein magnetic couplings are generated between the first and second resonators, between the third and fourth resonators, and between the first and fourth resonators, and a capacitive coupling is generated between the second and third resonators.

Abstract
A cross-coupled bandpass filter includes first, second, third and fourth resonators such that magnetic couplings are generated between the first and second resonators, between the third and fourth resonators and between the first and fourth resonators, a capacitive coupling is generated between the second and third resonators, and the magnetic coupling between the first and fourth resonators has a polarity opposite to that of the capacitive coupling between the second and third resonators, thereby generating two transmission zeros in a transmission rejection band.
