This paper introduces a linear mechanism to convert wave frequency to any desired value using a digitally pre-defined, time-varying material property. The device, an electromagnetic diaphragm with a MOSFET-controlled shunt circuit, achieves an acoustic impedance modulation ratio of up to 45. Experiments demonstrate audible sound conversion to infrasound and ultrasound, and a monochromatic tone to white noise via randomized MOSFET time sequences. Potential applications include super-resolution imaging, sub-wavelength energy flow control, and encrypted underwater communication.
