Electrical Elements
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
| V1 | Input voltage |
| V2 | Output voltage |
| I1 | Current flowing into the input + terminal |
| I2 | Current flowing out of the output + terminal |
| G | Gyration conductance |
The two electrical networks connected to the primary and secondary windings must each have their own Electrical Reference block.
The gyration conductance constant G. The default value is 1.
The block has four electrical conserving ports. Polarity is indicated by the + and – signs.
