We propose a new scheme of spin filtering employing ballistic nanostructures in two dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). The proposal is essentially based on the spin-orbit (SO) interaction arising from the lateral confining electric field. This sets the basic difference with other works employing ballistic crosses and T junctions with the conventional SO term arising from 2DEG confinement. We discuss the consequences of this different approach on magnetotransport properties of the device, showing that the filter can in principle be used not only to generate a spin polarized current but also to perform an electric measurement of the spin polarization of a charge current. We focus on single-channel transport and investigate numerically the spin polarization of the current.
