On-chip Multi-band equalizers for adjusting signal strength for a receiver receiving multi-band frequency signals are provided, The multi-band equalizer comprises multiple series connected tapped LC resonators. The tapped LC resonator may be capacitive tapping or inductive tapping, where both frequency and gain of the frequency bands of interest may be programmed by tuning the capacitances of the programmable capacitors and/or selecting the tapped out terminals of the inductors. The multi-band equalizer may be connected to a signal node, for instance between two amplifiers in the receiver.
