Abstract
Experiments with a quartz resonator are described: (i) the frequency response, the quality factor, and the transient processes; (ii) the temperature dependence of the resonance frequency; and (iii) the parameters of the equivalent impedance. A popular quartz resonator designed for generating oscillations of frequency 32 768 Hz (= 215) serves as an example. A new data-acquisition system from PASCO Scientific is used for the measurements. The experiments employ 1 ppm frequency resolution, but are well suited for undergraduate laboratories.
