Abstract

An array of coupled resonators including: an input unit that supplies an input electrical signal; an electrical excitation unit that electrically excites N coupled resonators of the array using the input electrical signal, wherein the electrical excitation unit includes, for each of the N coupled resonators, an actuator, connected to the input unit, that actuates a respective one of the N coupled resonators according to the input electrical signal, and a variable gain input amplifier that amplifies actuation of a respective one of the N coupled resonators; and a controller that controls a specific setting of a variable gain of each of the variable gain input amplifier.
