A component that includes a first structure that is integrated with a second structure. The first structure is a lumped balanced to unbalanced circuit (balun) and the second structure is a resonator-based filter. The function of the balun is to move a signal from a differential form to a single ended form or from a single ended form to a differential form. The component has an area that is comparable to the area needed to implement the balun alone. However, the component now provides a filter function. Preferably, the substrate of the first structure also acts as a substrate for the second structure.
