The RO3156E 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 EN 300 220.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Observe precautions for handling.
Notes:
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 subse-
quent years.
2. The center frequency , fC, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point, ILMIN,
wit h the resonator in the 50 Ω 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.
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
government approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.
5. Unless noted otherwise, case temperature TC= +25°C±2°C.
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: fC, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, fC versus TC, and CO.
8. T urnover 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.
9. 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 . T ransducer parallel capacitance can by calculated as:
CP≈CO-0.05pF.
