The RO3101C 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 fix ed-frequency transmitters
operating at 433.92 MHz. This SAW is designed specifically for remote-control and wireless security
transmitters operating in Europe under ETSI I-ETS 300 220 and in Germany under FTZ 17 TR 2100.

Notes:
1. Frequency aging is the change in fC 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 subsequent years .
2. The center frequency, fC, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point,
ILMIN, with the res onator in the 50 Ω test system (VSWR ≤ 1.2:1). The
shunt inductance, LTEST, is tuned for parallel resonance with CO at fC.
Typi cally, fOSCILLATOR or fTRANSMITTER is approximately equal to the
resonator fC.
3. One or more of the following United Sta tes patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197.
4. Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and
government app roval, which is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.
5. Unless noted otherwise, case temperature TC= +25°C±2°C.
6. The design, manufacturing process , and specif ications of this device are
subject to change without no tice.
7. Derived mat hematically from one or more of the following directly
measured parameters: fC, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, fC versus TC, and CO.
8. Turnover temperature, TO, is the temperatur e of maximum (or turnover)
frequenc y, fO. T he nominal f requency at any case tempera ture, TC, may be
calculated from: f = fO[1 - FTC (TO-TC)2]. Typically oscillator TO is
approximately equal to the specified resonator TO.
9. This equiv alent RLC model approximates resonator pe rformance near the
resonan t frequen cy and is provided for refer ence o nly. The capaci tanc e CO
is the static (nonmotional) capac i tance between the tw o terminals
measured at low freque ncy (10 MHz) with a capacitance meter. The
measureme nt includes p arasitic cap acitanc e with "NC” pads unconne cted.
Case pa r as itic capacitance is approxi mately 0.05 pF. Tra ns ducer parallel
capacitance can by calculated as: CP≈CO-0.05pF.
