A gyrator converts an impedance into its inverse. This lets you replace an inductor with a capacitor, a couple op amps, and some resistors. A very handy gadget to have, especially if you’re trying to put large value inductors into a very small package. 1, record 2, English, - gyrator

Le gyrateur est un dispositif qui présente une impédance d'entrée inversement proportionnelle à son impédance de charge. Les propriétés du gyrateur sont majoritairement utilisées pour réaliser des impédances dont la réactance est forte et la résistance faible. Les topologies de gyrateurs sont très variées et dans tous les cas de figure, elles sont employées pour réaliser des inductances actives en identifiant l'impédance de charge à un élément de type capacitif. 1, record 2, French, - gyrateur
