RFM RO2116
TO39-3 Case
Ideal for LO in 303.825 MHz Superhet Receivers with 500 kHz IF
Very Low Series Resistance
Quartz Stability
Rugged, Hermetic, Low-Profile TO39 Case
Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
The RO2116 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 local oscillators operating at approxi-
mately 303.325 MHz. The RO2116 is designed for IC-based 303.825 MHz superhet receivers with 500 kHz
IF (Philips UAA3201T). Applications include wireless remote-control and security receivers operating in the
USA under FCC Part 15, in Japan, in Australia, and in Korea.

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

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
.
