i don't think that you mean the name of correlation !!
if you want to design passive RC filter you only want to know
1- is the filter HPF (R-o/p) or LPF (C-o/p)?
2- the maximum magnitude of the transfere function |H(jw)|max.
3- the cut off value of the filter » 1/√2 × |H(jw)|max = 1/(RC)
then you can assume a practical value of R and calculate C
