Of course to build a small and cheap device, lower the capacitor value better. But from the signal point of view the capacitor has to be big enough to transmit the lowest frequency-component of the signal in the given impedance environment. So the question is, what is the lowest frequency needed to reproduce accurately the signal at the receiver. I think this may be the same problem that was put on this forum before....how many adjacent zeros (or by the same means ones) does the signal contain?
