The thing which I can't understand is why the circuit has different capacitors values.
Does it mean that they gave the filter response a slope like this ? :


--------- 
         ^^^^^
              ^^^^^
                   \
                    \

The other strange thing is that for the JX8P  C1=C2=C3=10 nF and C4=220pF
