Hi everybody!

What does this thing when you input some AC in?  
 
Bye.

There seems to be a spelling error in the link to the image - should read:

Anyway, it is a simple first order highpass filter.  
 
There is no point in having two caps in series like this, they can be replaced with a single cap with half the value (110p).

Thanks a lot Eric!  
 
Well, i drew it this way, because each cap dephasing the curent by 90 degres, i thought the curent out of the resistor would be 180 degres out of phase with with the one out of the caps, but i realize that it might not be that simple :D They form a smaller cap when in series, so it might not behave as expected dephasing teh signal. That's why they use a center resistor in bridged T filters? It's a high pass then, huh, does it act as a high pass to the ground when used as a cathode bypass circuit on a preamp valve?  
 
Thanks again. Max.
