A high-Q magnetoelectric (ME) gyrator consisting of a trilayer laminate of nickel-iron-based constant elasticity alloy (Ni–Fe–Cr) and lead zirconate titanate with a coil wound around it has been developed and systematically characterized. Highly efficient magneto-mechanical-electric conversion can be achieved by means of the combination contributions of high quality factors from individuals, and much energy can be transferred through the gyration device. Under an electromechanical resonance frequency of 54.04 kHz, experimental results show that maximum efficiency reaches as high as 88.5% under an extremely low input density of 3.31 µW/cm3 with an optimum load resistance of 9.6 kΩ and a magnetic bias of 66 Oe. Such a highly efficient ME gyrator with a high Q factor can be beneficial or degrade the design goals that are likely to be achievable for practical applications in compact power transfer electronic devices.
