 Solution

Use an unloaded RC low-pass filter: a series resistor between the source and the output node, with a capacitor from that node to ground, and measure the output across the capacitor. The components are ideal in this first-order model; “ideal” here does not mean a brick-wall frequency response.

The time constant is $\tau =RC$, henceThe capacitive electrical impedance gives the transfer function $H(i\omega )=1/(1+i\omega RC)$, soOn the magnitude Bode plot, $20{\log }_{10}|H|=-10{\log }_{10}[1+(f/f_c{)}^2]$. The gain approaches $0\mathrm{dB}$ for $f\ll f_c$, is $-3.01\mathrm{dB}$ at $f_c$, and falls with slope $-20\mathrm{dB}$ per decade for $f\gg f_c$. These results assume negligible source resistance beyond the specified $R$ and a sufficiently large load impedance.
