Continuously variable active reactance systems and methods

Abstract

Various embodiments for controlling a resonant frequency of a resonator are described. A system includes at least one resonant circuit and an active variable reactance circuit that controls a resonant frequency of the at least one resonant circuit. The active variable reactance circuit includes an electrically-controllable switching element and a switch controller sub-circuit configured to switch the electrically-controllable switching element at a frequency of a radio-frequency (RF) current or voltage passing through or across a device such that the RF current flowing from a first terminal to a second terminal is substantially sinusoidal.
