Abstract

Based on the above analysis, it is clearly shown that the differential circuit in Fig. 1 is two-port, non-reciprocal, and “gyrates” a current into a voltage, and vice-versa. Thus we would prefer to refer it as a “non-ideal differential gyrator” due to its non-zero main-diagonal entries in (1). In fact, when the common-gate amplifier was used to implement the non-inverting amplifier in a gyrator, such as in [2] and [3], the main-diagonal entry in the admittance matrix of the gyrator will also significantly deviate from zero.
