Abstract:
1. An electromechanical resonating structure, comprising: a first plurality of sub-micron size elements configured to resonate at a characteristic frequency and coupled to at least one first flexible structure, the first plurality of elements and the at least one first flexible structure collectively defining a first resonating structure; a second plurality of sub-micron size elements configured to resonate at the characteristic frequency and coupled to at least one second flexible structure, the second plurality of elements and the at least one second flexible structure collectively defining a second resonating structure; and at least one flexible support coupling the first resonating structure to the second resonating structure, the first and second resonating structures and the at least one flexible support collectively defining a third level resonating structure, wherein the third level resonating structure is configured to resonate in at least one mode at a frequency different from the characteristic frequency and determined by a geometry and material of the first and second pluralities of elements, and is configured to resonate with an amplitude greater than amplitudes of vibration exhibited by the first and second pluralities of elements.
