Default Designing Frequency-Dependent Impedances?

Hi,
Every one knows, that e.g. a simple RC-parallel circuit has a
frequency-dependent impedance-characteristic (Absolute Value) - the
impedance (Abs) raises as the Frequency approaches zero. As a formula: Zin
= 1/(1/R + i w C) , where i ist the imaginary number and w the frequency.

Now the hard part. How does one create an Impedance, which decreases
"slower", for frequencies close to zero but then decreases "faster" for
higher frequencies, than the simple parallel RC-Circuit?
Is there some kind of procedure like the one for syntesizeing LC-Filters
(Butterworth, Chebychev,..)?

Simply increasing C does not really help, because this equals a factoring of
the frequency.
Increasing R does not help as well, as it seems.


I hope one of you cracks can help me out.
So far, thanks for reading.
