The RO3101E-1 is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a surface-mount, ceramic case.
It provides reliable, fundam ental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-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.

1. Frequency aging is the change in fC with time and is spec ified 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 insert ion loss point,
ILMIN, with the res onator in the 50 Ω test system (VSWR ≤ 1.2:1). The
shunt inductance, LTEST, is tuned for pa r allel resonance with CO at fC.
Typica lly, fOSCILLATOR or fTRANSMITTER is approximately equal to the
resonator fC.
3. One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,48 8 and
4,616,197.
4. Typically, equipment utiliz ing this device requires emissi ons testing and
government app roval, which is the resp onsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.
5. Unless noted otherwise, case temperature TC= +25°C±2°C.
6. The design, manuf acturing process, an d sp ecifications of this device are
subject to change without notice.
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 tempera ture of maximum (or turnover)
frequenc y, fO. The nomina l frequenc y at an y case te mperature, 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 approximate s resonator performance near the
resonan t frequen cy and is provided for refer ence o nly. The capac itanc e CO
is the static (nonmotional) capacitance between the two terminals
measured at low frequency (10 MHz) with a c apacitance met er. The
measureme nt includes p arasitic cap acitanc e with "NC” pads unconne cted.
Case pa r as itic capacitance is approximately 0.05 pF. Trans ducer parallel
capacitance can by calculated as: CP≈CO-0.05pF.

Electrical Connections
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.
Typical Test Circuit
The test circuit inductor, LTEST, is tuned to resonate with the static
capacitance, CO, at F C.
