Abstract

A system comprises a mechanical resonator; an analog circuit operably coupled to the mechanical resonator; the analog circuit arranged to receive a mechanical resonator measurement signal and to output a mechanical resonator actuation signal to the mechanical resonator; and a digital actuator operably coupled to the analog circuit and configured to provide a frequency sweep of signals to the analog circuit that induces movement of the mechanical resonator.
