The instrument uses the beats of the oscillations of two BWTs and records the amplitude-frequency response of the specimen with variation of the beat frequency from 10[sup:4] to 10[sup:8] Hz with accumulation of the desired signal for less than or equal to1 sec by means of a quadrature synchronous detector. The beat frequency is stabilized and the quadrature voltages of the synchronous detector are formed by means of phase-locked loops.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1699), last updated on Fri, 28 May 2021 21:29:52 -0500", opturl="https://www.osti.gov/biblio/6473035", language="Russian" }
