A multi-pole monolithic crystal filter (100) having at least three asymmetrically acoustically coupled resonators (104) on a piezoelectric blank (102) to provide an improved phase response (302). The resonators (104) are positioned substantially in inverse proportion to predetermined ladder network coupling coefficients to achieve an improved phase response filter. The ladder network coupling coefficients are selected from designs including Bessel, Gaussian, linear phase and equiripple models. In this way, a predetermined improved phase response (302) is obtained monolithically without discrete interstage tuning components.
