Frequency-filtering circuitry is disclosed that rejects power of a wireless signal having an undesired frequency while causing a decreased power loss to a wireless signal having a desired frequency using distributed elements, rather than lumped elements. The frequency-filtering circuitry may reject at least 5 decibels of power of a wireless signal having a frequency over 32 gigahertz, while causing a power loss of at most 1.1 decibels to a wireless signal having a frequency lower than 29.5 gigahertz. The frequency-filtering circuitry may include a main branch, a first parallel branch coupled and parallel to the main branch via a first connecting trace, and a second parallel branch coupled and parallel to the main branch via a second connecting trace. The first connecting trace intersects the main branch and the first parallel branch, and the second connecting trace intersects the main branch and the second parallel branch.
