The RO2103A is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a surface-mount, ceramic case.
It provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operat-
ing at 418.0 MHz. This SAW is designed for remote-control and wireless security transmitters operating 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 in subse-
quent 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
inductance, L
TEST
, is tuned for parallel resonance with C
O
at f
C
. Typically, f
OS-
CILLATOR
or f
TRANSMITTER
is approximately equal to the resonator f
C
.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197.
Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and govern-
ment 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.

Turnover temperature, T

quency, f

. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, T

lated from: f = f

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 the two terminals measured at low
frequency (10 MHz) with a capacitance meter. The measurement includes para-
sitic capacitance with "NC” pads unconnected. Case parasitic capacitance is
approximately 0.05 pF. Transducer parallel capacitance can by calculated as:
