1. A lowpass filter formed in a multi-layered substrate comprising:
- a first inductor having one end electrically connected to a first node;
a second inductor having one end electrically connected to a second node;
a third inductor having one end electrically connected to the first node and another end electrically connected to the second node, wherein the third inductor is formed on different layers of the multi-layered substrate than the first and second inductors;
a first capacitor formed on at least one layer of the multi-layered substrate and being electrically connected to the first node and to ground; and
a second capacitor formed on at least one layer of the multi-layered substrate and being electrically connected to the second node and to ground;
wherein negative mutual inductance exists between the first and third inductors and between the second and third inductors.

Abstract
A lowpass filter formed in a multi-layered substrate includes a first capacitor formed on at least one layer of the multi-layered substrate and being electrically connected to a first node, a first inductor being electrically connected to the first capacitor at the first node, and a second inductor being electrically connected to the first inductor and the first capacitor at the first node. In the lowpass filter, negative mutual inductance exists between the first inductor and the second inductor.
