Abstract
Systems and methods herein provide for a tunable resonator. In one embodiment, a tunable resonator includes a transmission line comprising at least two inductor segments and a tap between each of the at least two inductor segments. The resonator also includes one less switch than a number of the at least two inductor segments on the transmission line. Each switch is coupled to one of the taps. And, each switch is operable to decouple at least one of the at least two inductor segments in the transmission line by shunting at least a portion of the transmission line to ground to change a resonant frequency of the transmission line.
