Abstract :
The intent of the paper is to review all the known methods for measuring the constants of piezoelectric vibrators. The discussed methods are divided into two groups: routine measuring methods and laboratory measuring methods. The use of self-controlled oscillator circuits with the vibrators oscillating at their resonant frequency is recommended in the first group and the use of bridge circuits is recommended in the second group.
