ABSTRACT:
A plurality of quartz crystal resonators having different resonance frequencies are connected in parallel. A combined admittance of the resonators is measured. Equivalent circuit constants of all the resonators are obtained by a method of least squares from admittance characteristics. A change in the resonance frequency is measured and mass of a substance adsorbed to a piezoelectric transducer is calculated.
