Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures above +65 C. Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing in subsequent years. The center frequency, fC, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point, ILMIN, with the resonator in the 50 test system (VSWR 1.2:1). The shunt inductance, LTEST, is tuned for parallel resonance with CO at fC. Typically, fOSCILLATOR or fTRANSMITTER is approximately equal to the resonator fC.

Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and government approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer. Unless noted otherwise, case temperature TC = +25 2 C.

Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly measured parameters: fC, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, fC versus TC, and CO. Turnover temperature, TO, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) frequency, fO. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, TC, may be calculated from: f = fO [1 - FTC (TO -TC)2]. Typically oscillator TO is approximately equal to the specified resonator TO. This equivalent RLC model approximates resonator performance near the resonant frequency and is provided for reference only. The capacitance CO 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: CP CO - 0.05 pF. Page 1 of 2 RO3120A - 6/27/11 Electrical Connections Equivalent Model 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. 0.05 pF* Case Ground Case Ground Terminal Co = Cp + 0.05 pF Cp Terminal Lm Rm *Case Parasitics Cm Temperature Characteristics The test circuit inductor, LTEST, is tuned to resonate with the static capacitance, CO, at FC. fC = f O , T C = T O -50 -50 -100 -100 -150 -150 -200 0 +20 +40 +60 +80 -200 -80 -60 -40 -20 ELECTRICAL TEST Case T = T C - T O ( C ) To 50 Network Analyzer From 50 Network Analyzer 0 0 (f-fo ) / fo (ppm) Typical Test Circuit The curve shown on the right accounts for resonator contribution only and does not include LC component temperature contributions.
