The RO2115A 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

417.5 MHz. This SAW is designed for 418 MHz superhet receivers with 500 kHz IF (Philips UAA3201T).

Applications inlude remote-control and wireless security receivers operating in the United Kingdom under

DTI MPT 1340 and in the USA under FCC Part 15.
