SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE (SAW) RESONATORS –

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61019-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 49:
Piezoelectric and dielectric devices for frequency control and selection.
This first edition of IEC 61019-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61019-1-1
published in 1990 and the first edition of IEC 61019-1-2 published in 1993. It constitutes a
technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
49/689FDIS 49/698/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO IEC Directives, Part 2.

61019-1  IEC:2004(E) – 5 –
IEC 61019 consists of the following parts under the general title Surface acoustic wave (SAW)
resonators:
Part 1: Generic specification
Part 2: Guide to the use (at present under revision)
Part 3: Standard outlines and lead connections

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

one-port SAW resonator
4.2.10.1
one-port resonator equivalent circuit
electrical circuit which has the same impedance as the resonator in the immediate neighbour-
hood of resonance. It is usually represented by a parallel capacitance shunted by a motional
(series) arm. The motional (series) arm, in its turn, is represented by an inductance,
capacitance and resistance in series. The parameters of the motional (series) arm of induct-
ance, capacitance and resistance are usually given by L , C and R respectively. The shunt
1 1 1
capacitance is given by C (see Figure 2)
NOTE The characteristic frequencies which occur in the resonance neighbourhood can be completely defined by
considering the resistance and the reactance of the resonator as a function of frequency and from the impedance
and admittance diagrams described in Figure 3, and IEC 60122-1, to which reference should be made.

consulted.

capacitances shunting the input and output ports, and an ideal transformer. The parameters
of the motional inductance, motional capacitance and motional resistance in the motional
