The RO3073 is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a low-profile TO39 case. It
provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operating
at 315 MHz. The RO3073 is designed specifically for wireless remote controls and security transmitters,
typically for automotive-keyless-entry, operating in the USA under FCC Part 15, in Canada under DoC RSS-
210, and in Italy.

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 significantly 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 less than the resonator f

.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and

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

Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly
measured parameters: f

, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, f
C

O
.
Turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover)
frequency, f
O
. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, T
C
, may be
calculated from: f = f

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 pin1 and pin 2 measured
at low frequency (10 MHz) with a capacitance meter. The measurement
includes case parasitic capacitance with a floating case. For usual
grounded case applications (with ground connected to either pin 1 or pin 2
and to the case), add approximately 0.25 pF to C
O
.
