| Summary: | A detailed analysis of an operational transconductance amplifier based gyrator implementing a fractional-order inductance simulator is presented. The influence of active element non-ideal properties on the gyrator operation is investigated and demonstrated by admittance characteristics and formulas for important values and cut-off frequencies in these characteristics. Recommendations to optimize the performance of the gyrator in terms of operation bandwidth, the range of obtainable admittance magnitude, and signal dynamic range are proposed. The theoretical observations are verified by PSpice simulations of the gyrator with LT1228 integrated circuit.
