1962 J. H. Simpson & R. S. Richards Physical Princ. Junction Transistors vii. 132 It is possible to determine the elements of an external feedback circuit which will accomplish the required neutralization. Since the transistor is thereby made into a one-way device, in which an input signal can influence the output but the reverse is not true, the compensation process is often called ‘unilateralization’.
1981 E. Oxner in A. D. Evans Designing with Field-Effect Transistors iv. 144 The advantages of neutralization and unilateralization are that input and output are effectively isolated from each other and maximum stable gain results.

unilateralized1954
1954 IRE Trans. Circuit Theory May 23/1 Suppose..that a number of active devices are to be placed in cascade, each being unilateralized with lossless coupling in order to avoid the problem of wave reflection back through the chain.
1974 P. K. Harvey & K. J. Bohlman Stereo F.M. Radio Handbk. v. 99 The winding direction of L7 is such that signals at the lower end of this coil are in antiphase with the signals at the lower end of L4. In this way the stage is unilateralized.
