A low noise nth order filter, system, and method includes a plurality of nested general immittance converters (GICs) operatively connected to one another in successive GIC stages; and a capacitor operatively connected to each of the GICs, wherein a first successive GIC stage begins at a first node located in between a previous GIC stage and a corresponding capacitor operatively connected to the previous GIC stage. A second successive GIC stage begins at a second node located in between the first node and the first successive GIC stage. The filter may further comprise a resistor operatively connected to at least one successive GIC stage, wherein the resistor is preferably located in between the first node and the first successive GIC stage.
