The output is measured across the capacitor. The voltage divider gives the RC low-pass filter transfer function
Therefore
The amplitude ratio tends to and the phase shift to zero as . For , the amplitude ratio is asymptotic to and the phase shift tends to .
Figure 1.
The RC low-pass filter amplitude and phase response, and periodic responses to a symmetric square-wave input at three values of
