That implies that only reactive power (but not real power)
can be transferred between two, in phase voltage (or current)
sources. Thus a pure gyrator can be achieved by the cascade
connection of a phase shifting network , that would cancel

In conclusion, the network is a gyrator with respect to the

If this kind of network is to possess gyrator characteristics, the
following condition needs to be fulfilled:

In conclusion, the network is quite tolerant to length variations;
or, viewed the other way, to variations in the switching
frequency.
