The acceleration sensitivity, , can be
calculated from the vibration induced sidebands. In an ideal oscillator, vs. fv
would be constant, but real oscillators exhibit resonances. In the above example, the resonance at 424
Hz resulted in a 17-fold increase in . The preferred test
method includes measurement of at multiple vibration frequencies in order to reveal
resonances.

MIL-PRF-55310 requires that “Measurements
shall be made at least 5 equally spaced acceleration levels between 20
percent of the maximum and the maximum specified.”
