A set of oxygen deficient powder and granular samples of YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-δ} ceramics was studied by means of thermogravimetric and magnetically modulated microwave absorption methods. Especially the last method has turned out to be a powerful method, which was used to determine the dependence of critical temperature T_c on the oxygen parameterδ. Using these methods it has been shown that the removing of oxygen evokes the inhomogeneous oxygen distribution in the samples and a change in carrier concentration till to the loss of superconducting properties. A superconducting phase with T_c=60 K, which occurs in oxygen deficient YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-δ} sample, is an unstable phase.
