Electronic – Input impedance butterworth filter with multiple feedback

filterfrequencyinput-impedancelaplace transformtransfer function

I have a problem finding the input impedance of a Butterworth filter. The circuit is shown in the figure below:
enter image description here

I have calculated the transfer function between input and output; but now I have to find the symbolic expression of the input impedance seen from the \$V_{\text{in}}\$ generator.
I've tried a \$V_{\text{in}}/I_{\text{in}}\$ approach.
Since

$$I_{\text{in}} = \frac{(V_{\text{in}} – V_{\text{x}})}{R_1} $$

and $$ V_{\text{x}} = -V_{\text{o}}(sC_2R_2) $$

I find that
$$
Z_{\text{in}} = \frac{R_1}{1+ W(s) sC_2R_2}
$$
Where \$W(s)\$ is the transfer function
$$
W(s) = \frac{V_{\text{o}}}{V_{\text{in}}}
$$
This sounds wrong to me, because the input impedance should decrease at high frequency, and in my case it's increasing.
Where am I wrong?
Thank for the precious help!

EDIT : I've checked it with SAPWIN, and it looks like the expression above is correct.

In the Picture there is the 1/Zin function.

Thanks to all for your help in solving the question!

From my visual analysis,

Zin(dc)=R1+R2//R3

for f>>f-3dB

@ f = infinity Zin = R1

DC gain is -R3/R1 where Vx(f=0)=0

For visual aid on Vx see Attenuation, phase shift of xy for VI plot using Java with sweep. You can change any parameter
