All photographic and photoelectric observations of RS Boo since 1938 have been analysed in order to obtain an accurate mathematical description of the light variation. A Fourier sum with frequencies f0, fm, kf0, kf0+/- fm, where k = 1, 2, ... , 11; f_0 = 2.6501491 d(-1) ; fm = 0.001886 d(-1) and a linear period change of the f_0 and the kf_0 components with beta = 7.0x 10(-11) give a fit with a standard deviation of sigma = 0.064 mag. Considering the various quality and the long span of the data, this level of accuracy can be regarded as a good one. In contrast with some reports about the existence of a secondary modulation we have not found any sign of this component in the prewhitened spectrum.
