Abstract
In order to reach the maximum sensitivity of the new ultra-low temperature gravitational wave antennas, a further improvement in transducer technology is necessary. The authors present the test system developed for the laboratory study of the resonant capacitive transducer and discuss some of the experimental results obtained at low and room temperatures.Keywords
