The magnetoelectric (ME) gyrator is a device that can convert not only active and reactive impedances, but also current and voltage. In this work, we have carried out research on three gyrators structures based on Terfenol-D/PZT/Terfenol-D, Metglas/PZT/Metglas and Nickel/PZT/Nickel. Detailed investigations of the ME gyrator based on these trilayer composite structures have been performed at the electromechanical resonance frequency.
