A radio filter has a band pass filter for passing a desired band of signal frequencies and a band stop filter for reducing the passing of a band of undesired signal frequencies. The filter comprises an input terminal, an output terminal, and a filter having a multiple of transmission lines arranged between said input and output terminal which filters input signals through said input terminal to pass signals of a given frequency band. A ground is connected to said transmission lines at first ends of said multiple of transmission lines and acoustic impedance elements are connected between said ground layer and second ends of said multiple transmission lines for providing a stop band filter function of the input signals, and whereby the input signal after band pass filtering and stop band filtering is provided at said output terminal.
