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
operating 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 tem-
peratures above +65°C. Typically, aging is greatest the first year after
manufacture, decreasing in subsequent years.
The center frequency, f
C
, is measured at the minimum insertion loss
point, IL
MIN
, with the resonator in the 50
Ω
test system (VSWR
≤
1.2:1). The shunt inductance, L
TEST
, is tuned for parallel resonance
with C
O
at f
C
. Typically, f

or f

is approximately
equal to the resonator f

.

Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing
and government approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.

Turnover temperature, T

This equivalent RLC model approximates resonator performance near
the resonant 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 parasitic capacitance with "NC”
pads unconnected. Case parasitic capacitance is approximately
0.05 pF. Transducer parallel capacitance can by calculated as:

Electrical Connections
The SAW resonator is bidirectional and may be
installed with either orientation. The two terminals
are interchangeable and unnumbered. The callout
NC indicates no internal connection. The NC pads
assist with mechanical positioning and stability.
External grounding of the NC pads is
recommended to help reduce parasitic
capacitance in the circuit.

The circuit board land pattern
shown below is one possible design. The optimum land pattern is
dependent on the circuit board assembly process which varies by
manufacturer. The distance between adjacent land edges should be at a
maximum to minimize parasitic capacitance. Trace lengths from terminal
lands to other components should be short and wide to minimize parasitic
series inductances.
