Abstract

In one embodiment, a resonator device includes a substrate comprising a piezoelectric material and a set of electrodes on the substrate. The electrodes are in parallel and a width of the electrodes is equal to a distance between the electrodes. The resonator device further includes a set of switches, with each switch coupled to a respective electrode. The switches are to connect to opposite terminals of an alternating current (AC) signal source and select between the terminals of the AC signal source based on an input signal.
