Figure 5-10. Response of a Real Filter to a Square Wave Input Signal
One-Pole Lowpass RC Filter
Figure5 -11 shows the transfer function of a simple series circuit consisting
of a resistor (R) and capacitor (C) when the voltage across R is assumed to
be the output voltage (Vm).
Figure 5-11. Transfer Function of a Simple Series Circuit
The transfer function is a mathematical representation of a one-pole
lowpass filter, with a time constant of
as follows:
