The transfer function of a passive bandpass filter has one zero and two poles.
The filter is:
Signal -> L -> C -> R -> Gnd,
where the signal is the input and the voltage across R is the output.
[itex]H(s) = \frac{sRC}{s^2LC+sRC+1}[/itex]
Initial value theorem states that it's impulse response has an initial value of R/L. How can this be? The system filters out high frequencies, so it should not be able to change its voltage instantaneously in response to an impulse.
