There is described a continuous time filter of at least a second (or higher) order, comprising one or more first order filter stages of a first type, the or each first order filter stage of the first type comprising a reactive component and an impedance dependent on the difference between the input and output voltages of the filter stage. The filter includes at least one first order filter stage of a second type, the or each second order filter of the second type comprising a reactive component and an impedance dependent on the sum of the input and output voltages of the filter stage. The filter includes a transfer function of the continuous time filter that is obtained comprising complex poles.
