RFM RO2103
TO39-3 Case
Ideal for 418 MHz Transmitters
Very Low Series Resistance
Quartz Stability
Rugged, Hermetic, Low-Profile TO39 Case
Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
The RO2103 is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a low-profile TO39 case. It pro-
vides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operating at
418.0 MHz. The RO2103 is designed specifically for remote-control and wireless security transmitters oper-
ating in the United Kingdom under dTI MPT 1340 and in the USA under FCC Part 15.

Notes:
1.
Frequency aging is the change in f
C
with time and is specified at +65°C or less.
Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures above +65°C.
Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing signifi-
cantly in subsequent years.
The center frequency, f
C
, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point, IL
MIN
,
with the resonator in the 50
test system (VSWR
≤
1.2:1). The shunt induc-
tance, L
TEST
, is tuned for parallel resonance with C
O
at f
C
. Typically, f
OSCILLA-
TOR
or f
TRANSMITTER
is less than the resonator f
C
.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197 and others pending.
Typically, equipment designs utilizing this device require emissions testing and
government approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.
Unless noted otherwise, case temperature T
C
= +25°C±2°C.
The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject
to change without notice.

Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly measured
parameters: f
C
, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, f
C
versus T
C
, and C
O
.
Turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) fre-
quency, f
O
. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, T
C
, may be calcu-
lated from: f = f
O
[1 - FTC (T

oscillator
T
O
is 20°C less than
the specified

.
This equivalent RLC model approximates resonator performance near the reso-
nant frequency and is provided for reference only. The capacitance C
O
is the
static (nonmotional) capacitance between pin1 and pin 2 measured at low fre-
quency (10 MHz) with a capacitance meter. The measurement includes case
parasitic capacitance with a floating case. For usual grounded case applica-
tions (with ground connected to either pin 1 or pin 2 and to the case), add
approximately 0.25 pF to C
O
.
