They were used for baseband filtering in IQ systems as well as bandpass filters in low-IF systems - these are particularly interesting as they use gyrators to couple capacitors in a pair of quadrature-driven filters to shift the centre-frequency away from DC and reject negative frequencies (in a tunable way). <div>The IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits is full of these designs if you search “gm-C filter”, but the limited dynamic range and noise has made these less fashionable now. </div><div><br></div><div>Phil.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 3.

I’m sitting in on my colleague Jennifer Hasler’s class on analog VLSI design this semester. The other day in lecture she showed really interesting circuit I hadn’t seen before, a gyrator using OTAs instead of op amps:
