Fractional Order Oscillator Design Based on Two-Port Network

In this paper, a general analysis of the generation for all possible fractional order oscillators based on two-port network is presented. Three different two-port network classifications are used with three external single impedances, where two are fractional order capacitors and a resistor. Three possible impedance combinations for each classification are investigated, which give nine possible

CFOA-Based fractional order simulated inductor

In this paper, a generalized fractional-order form of the simulated inductor using a single current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) and a fractional-order capacitor is introduced. Analytical expression of the equivalent fractionalorder inductor versus the circuit elements is achieved. Moreover, the effect of the parasitic impedance and the non-idealities of the CFOA are investigated

Fractional-order inverting and non-inverting filters based on CFOA

This paper introduces a study to generalize the design of a continuous time filters into the fractional order domain. The study involves inverting and non-inverting filters based on CFOA where three responses are extracted which are high-pass, band-pass and low-pass responses. The proposed study introduces the generalized formulas for the transfer function of each response with different

Fractional-order synchronization of two neurons using Fitzhugh-Nagumo neuron model

This paper studies the synchronization of two coupled neurons using Fitzhugh-Nagumo model in the fractional-order domain. In general, studying systems in the fractional-order domain provides a wider scope view of their behavior. When the neuron is generalized into the fractional-order domain, the normal behaviors displayed in the integer case change. Furthermore, two neurons display various

On The Optimization of Fractional Order Low-Pass Filters

This paper presents three different optimization cases for normalized fractional order low-pass filters (LPFs) with numerical, circuit and experimental results. A multi-objective optimization technique is used for controlling some filter specifications, which are the transition bandwidth, the stop band frequency gain and the maximum allowable peak in the filter pass band. The extra degree of

Reactance-less RM relaxation oscillator using exponential memristor model

Recently, the memristor based relaxation oscillators become an important topic in circuit theory where the reactive elements are replaced by memristor which occupies a very small area. In this paper, a design of memristor-based relaxation oscillator is introduced based on exponential memristor model. Unlike previously published oscillators which were built based on a simple memristor model, the

Generalized delayed logistic map suitable for pseudo-random number generation

This paper presents the generalization of a delayed version of the logistic map. The effect of the added two general parameters is studied, which offers the option of having three different maps. The dynamic behavior of the vertical, zooming and the general map is analyzed. The study of the fixed points, stability ranges and bifurcation diagram of the delayed logistic map at hand is detailed in

This paper presents a generalized form of the fractional logistic map. Two general parameters a and b are added to the classical fractional logistic equation. The effect of such parameters on the map is studied explicitly, in combination with the fractional order parameter α, which offers an extra degree of freedom increasing the design flexibility and adding more controllability on the design

Fractional order oscillators with single non-zero transmission matrix element

This paper presents a study of fractional order oscillator design based on a matrix. The presented oscillator consists of a general two port network and three impedances. Only two port with single element in its transmission matrix is discussed which gives four possible networks. Different combinations for one element have been investigated. The impedances associated with the studied networks are
