The low-voltage (LV) capacitor couples the time-varying components of the PA output signal into the line coupling transformer. The LV capacitor should have a large enough capacitance to appear as a low impedance throughout the signal band of interest. A value of 10 µF is a common value for signals ranging from 35 kHz to 150 kHz. The boostpack LV capacitor value was 10 µF because the space and mark frequencies (131.25 kHz and 141.75 kHz) lie within the range. The voltage rating of the LV capacitor should be sufficient to withstand the clamping voltage of the TVS diode (discussed in the protection section) operating under surge conditions. Generally, this limit should be equal or slightly higher to the PA supply voltage.
