The Low-Pass Filter
Low-pass RC filter circuit: Permits low-frequency signals to pass from
the input to the output while attenuating high frequency signals.
At low frequencies, the capacitor has a very large reactance.
Consequently, at low frequencies the capacitor is essentially an open
circuit resulting in the voltage across the capacitor, Vout, to be essentially
equal to the applied voltage, Vin.
At high frequencies, the capacitor has a very small reactance, which
essentially short circuits the output terminals. The voltage at the output
will therefore approach zero as the frequency increases.

The Low-Pass Filter
The cutoff frequency, 𝝎𝒄, as the frequency at which the
output power is equal to half of the maximum output power
(3 dB down from the maximum).
This frequency occurs when the output voltage has an
amplitude which is 0.7071 of the input voltage.

The RC Integrator
The Integrator is basically a low pass filter circuit operating in the time domain that converts a
square wave “step” response input signal into a triangular shaped waveform output as the capacitor
charges and discharges. A Triangular waveform consists of alternate but equal, positive and negative
ramps.
The RC time constant is long compared to the time period of the input waveform, the resultant
output waveform will be triangular in shape and the higher the input frequency the lower will be the
output amplitude compared to that of the input.

The High-Pass Filter
The high-pass filter is a circuit which allows high-frequency signals to pass from
the input to the output of the circuit while attenuating low-frequency signals.
At low frequencies, the reactance of the capacitor will be very large,
effectively preventing any input signal from passing through to the output.
At high frequencies, the capacitive reactance will approach a short-circuit
condition, providing a very low impedance path for the signal from the input
to the output.

The input waveform to the filter has been assumed to be sinusoidal or that of a sine wave
consisting of a fundamental signal and some harmonics operating in the frequency domain giving
us a frequency domain response for the filter.
However, if we feed the High Pass Filter with a Square Wave signal operating in the time domain
giving an impulse or step response input, the output waveform will consist of short duration pulse
or spikes as shown.

The RC Differentiator
Each cycle of the square wave input waveform produces two spikes at the output, one positive and one
negative and whose amplitude is equal to that of the input. The rate of decay of the spikes depends
upon the time constant, ( RC ) value of both components, ( τ = R x C ) and the value of the input
frequency. The output pulses resemble more and more the shape of the input signal as the frequency
increases.
