Abstract :
The performances of instruments developed for the measurement of 5 MHz ultra-stable resonators, before and after being integrated in an oscillator, are presented. The chosen resonator has an estimated stability of several 10-14. The intrinsic noise floor of these benches are about 7 to 9.5 10-15.
