Resonator
The RO3156A 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 fixed-frequency transmitters
operating at 868.95 MHz. This SAW is designed specifically for remote-control and wireless security
transmitters operating under ETSI-ETS 300 220 in Europe and under FTZ 17 TR 2100 in Germany.

Notes:
1.
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 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 approximately equal to the
resonator f

.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197.
Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and
government approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.
Unless noted otherwise, case temperature T

Turnover temperature, T

frequency, f

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 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: C

- 0.05 pF.

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.

The circuit board land pattern
shown below is one possible design. The optimum 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 minimize parasitic
series inductances.
