            Abstract : 
The amplitude-frequency effect is a well-known phenomenon in quartz crystal resonators. It can distort the results of short-term stability measurements. In our case, results are computed from phase noise measurements in passive bridge systems. This article presents a method to correct computation of short-term stability from passive measurements.
