This chapter discusses methods and circuits of producing gyrators, simulated grounded and floating inductors and transformers in both bipolar and CMOS technology. While in the case of bipolar circuits, we have included only some of the prominent configurations from amongst the available works, the treatment of CMOS circuits has been restricted to the developments taken place from 2008 onwards. Thus, the circuits and techniques prior to 2008 have been treated in a somewhat concise manner only due to the fact that more detailed treatment of these is already available in some of the recent books on this topic. Wherever possible, the applications suggested by the proposers of the concerned circuits have also been highlighted.
