Abstract
A bank of nano electromechanical integrated circuit filters. The bank of integrated circuit filters comprising a silicon substrate; a sacrificial layer; a device layer including at least two resonators, wherein the at least two resonators include sub-micro excitable elements and wherein the at least two resonators posses a fundamental mode frequency as well as a collective mode frequency and wherein the collective mode frequency of the at least two resonators is determined by the fundamental frequency of the sub-micron elements. At least one switch connects to the bank of integrated circuit filters.
