Just wanted to validate the vaules I worked out total Inductance and Capacitance are correct.

For total Inductance I think L1 and L2 are parallel hence it would be L1*L2/L1+L2 = 155/4.7+33 = 4.11

And L3 and L4 are series to L1||L2 hence 4.11 + 6.8 + 6.8 = 17.71 nH

And for Capacitance.. C2 and C3 are in series hence it will be 47*5.6/47+5.6 = 4.91 and C5 and C7 are in parrallel hence it will be 4.91 + 8.2 + 6.8 = 19.91


Hence Ltotal= 17.71 nH
and Ctotal = 19.91 pF

Because the components interact with each other, the circuit above will not behave the same as two lumped components with the values you have calculated. It looks like a multi-pole bandpass filter

Yes its acting as filter for 868Mhz rf ICs, but I cannot figure out how they setting up required frequency of 868 mhz with this circuit.

The methods for setting up such a filter are derived from the requirements. The methods are detailed in a college text like the following:

As for reverse engineering the filter, I would try simulation in LTSpice as a first step.
