The invention relates to an RF filter with reduced insertion loss. The filter (F) includes a first bandpass filter (BPF1) having a passband, a circuit unit (SE) having an undesired excitation at a critical frequency (fs) and a reflector (R) that reflects RF signals of this frequency before the circuit unit is undesirably excited and the power is lost as a result.
