A tunable electromechanical resonator structure incorporates an electrostatic actuator (66, 68) which permits reduction or enhancement of the resonant frequency of the structure. The actuator consists of two sets of opposed electrode fingers, each set having a multiplicity of spaced, parallel fingers (70, 72, 84, 90). One set (70, 72) is mounted on a movable portion (54) of the resonator structure and one set (84, 90) is mounted on an adjacent fixed base (132, 134) on the substrate, adjacent ends spaced apart by a gap (86, 92). An adjustable bias voltage (130) across the sets of electrodes adjusts the resonant frequency of the movable structure.
