The RO3104D is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SA W) resonator in a surface-mount, ceramic case.
It provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters
operating at 303.825 MHz. This SAW is designed specifically for AM transmitters in wireless security and
remote control applications operating in the USA under FCC Part 15, in Australia, in J apan, and in Korea.

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 approx imately 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 devic e requires emissions testing and
government app roval, which is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.
5. Unless noted otherwis e, case temperature TC= +25°C±2°C.
6. The design, manufacturing process, and sp ecifications of this dev ice are
subject to change.
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. 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 spec ified resonator TO.
9. This equiv alent RLC model approximates resonator performance near the
resonan t frequen cy and is provided for refer ence o nly. The capaci tanc e CO
is the static (nonmotional) capacitance between the two terminals
measured at low frequency (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 approx imately 0.05 pF. Transducer parallel
capacitance can by calculated as: CP≈CO-0.05pF.
