Gyrator - Simulate ideal gyrator in electrical systems

Library

Electrical Elements

Description

Gyrators can be used to implement an inductor with a capacitor. The main benefit is that an equivalent inductance can be created with a much smaller physically sized capacitance. In practice, a gyrator is implemented with an op-amp plus additional passive components.

The Gyrator block models an ideal gyrator with no losses, described with the following equations:

where

V1Input voltage
V2Output voltage
I1Current flowing into the input + terminal
I2Current flowing out of the output + terminal
GGyration conductance

The two electrical networks connected to the primary and secondary windings must each have their own Electrical Reference block.

Dialog Box and Parameters

Gyration conductance

The gyration conductance constant G. The default value is 1.

Ports

The block has four electrical conserving ports. Polarity is indicated by the + and – signs.
