A method for the determination of impedance of quartz crystal using automatic network analyzer electrical techniques is
introduced in this paper. The vector network analyzer ENA 5070B which is produced by Agilent Company is taken to
measure S parameters in short-circuit, open-circuit and crystal-circuit. The algorithm recommended in international
standard IEC444-5 is based on theory of two-port S parameter transmission method and relationships between
transmission admittance (Y21) and scattering parameters(S parameters). By data analysis, circuit symmetry is good. And
around the resonance frequency, amplitude and phase of S parameters have obvious display the crystal characteristics.
The phase is not zero on the resonance frequency because of lead inductance and parasitic capacity. The
amplitude/phase-frequency curve of crystal impedance, which is in conformity with the stimulation of the crystal model,
is achieved. By de-embedding process, high accuracy of series resonant frequency and the impedance around it are
measured. Results have created favorable conditions for precisely determining the values of the electrical parameters of
quartz crystal units.
