The original diagram's upper arm is a series resistor and capacitor; its lower arm is a parallel resistor and capacitor. The output is the upper-minus-lower voltage across that parallel arm. Assume an ideal input voltage source and an unloaded output. Their electrical impedances are
For this series-parallel RC band-pass filter, the voltage divider gives, with ,
Taking the real part of yields the steady output
Initial charging contributes decaying transients if the source is switched on at a finite time; the displayed expression is the sinusoidal steady state. The output polarity matters: reversing the indicated output voltage would multiply by .
