Abstract
An elementary electrical resonator which includes a ribbon conductor forming a flat loop with at least one turn, the conductor having ends which form two parallel segments. The resonator further includes a conducting bridge which forms an arch straddling the two parallel segments of the ribbon conductor wherein opposing surfaces of the arch and the parallel segments form a capacitor. A part of the bridge is capable of being displaced with respect to the parallel segments under the action of a control signal so as to cause the capacitance of the capacitor and therefore the tuning frequency of the resonator to vary.
