Abstract
A resonator includes a member with an embedded charge, at least one input electrode, at least one output electrode, and at least one common electrode. The input and output electrodes are spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of the member from the common electrode. At least one of the member and the input and output electrodes is movable with respect to the other.

A method for passing a signal with a resonator, the method comprising:
- receiving an input signal around a resonant frequency for the resonator;
- applying a first varying signal on at least a first pair electrodes in response to the received input signal, each of the first pair of electrodes spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of a member with an embedded charge;
- oscillating the member in response to the applied varying signal on the first pair of electrodes;
- applying a second varying signal on at least a second pair electrodes in response to the oscillation of the member;
- and
- transmitting an output signal based on the applied second varying signal on the second pair of electrodes.
