A method and structure are provided for implementing surface mount components with symmetric reference balance. A first reference and an incoming signal are received in a surface mounted device (SMD) package and a second reference and the outgoing signal are output from the SMD package. A capacitor structure is defined within the SMD package between the first reference and the second reference. The capacitor structure includes a balanced impedance structure between the first reference and the second reference. A component connected between the received incoming signal and output signal is generally centrally located within the capacitor structure.
