Resonator
The RO2173A is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a surface-mount ceramic case.
It provides reliable, fundamental-mode stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operating at 980.0 MHz.
This SAW is designed specifically for remote-control and data-link transmitters operating in the USA under
FCC Part 15 regulations.

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
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
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.

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:

Electrical Connections
The SAW resonator is bidirectional and may be in-
stalled 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 recommend-
ed to help reduce parasitic capacitance in the cir-
cuit.

( °C )
The circuit board land pattern shown below is one possible design. The op-
timum 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 mini-
mize parasitic series inductances.
