The RO2102A 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 local oscillators operating at approx-
imately 423.22 MHz. This SAW is designed 423.22 MHz superhet receivers with 10.7 MHz IF. Applications
include remote-control and wireless security receivers 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 f
C
with time and is specified at +65C or less.
Aging may exceed the specification for prolonged temperatures above +65C.
Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing in subse-
quent years.
2.
The center frequency, f
C
, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point,
IL
MIN
, with the resonator in the 50
test system (VSWR
1.2:1). The shunt
inductance, L
TEST
, is tuned for parallel resonance with C
O
at f
C
. Typically, f
OS-
CILLATOR
or f
TRANSMITTER
is approximately equal to the resonator f
C
.
3.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197.
4.
Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and govern-
ment approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.
5.
Unless noted otherwise, case temperature T
C
= +25C2C.
6.
The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject
to change without notice.
7.
Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly measured
parameters: f
C
, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, f
C
versus T
C
, and C
O
.
8.
Turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) fre-
quency, f
O
. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, T
C
, may be calcu-
lated from: f = f

oscillator T

is approximately
equal to the specified

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:
C
P
C
O
- 0.05 pF.

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.
Typical Test Circuit
The test circuit inductor, L
TEST
, is tuned to resonate with the static capaci-
tance, C
O
, at F
C
.

Typical Circuit Board
Land Pattern
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.
Case Design
The case material is black alumina with contrasting symbolization. All pads
are nominally centered with respect to the base and consist of 40 to
70 microinches electroless gold on 60-350 micorinches electroless nickel.
