Abstract
A resonator and resonator method are provided. The resonator includes an inductor, a capacitor, and a switch configured to maintain energy in at least one of the inductor and the capacitor for a select period of time and to enable variability of energy in the at least one of the inductor and the capacitor for another period of time, to set a resonating frequency of the inductor and the capacitor.

A resonator method, the method comprising:
- controlling operation of a resonator, to set a resonating frequency of an inductor and a capacitor of the resonator, between at least a maintaining of energy in at least one of the inductor and the capacitor for a select period of time and an enabling of variability of energy in the at least one of the inductor and the capacitor for another period of time.
A resonator comprising:
- an LC circuit having a fixed inductance and capacitance;
- a resonating frequency controlling circuit configured to selectively maintain energy without change in a portion of the LC circuit for various select periods of time to set respective resonating frequencies of the LC circuit.
