Research Project
FPGA/FPAA Implementation of Fractional-order Systems
Fractional Calculus (FC) has been proved through numerous research examples to be a superior tool for system description to the narrow integer order domain. This is achieved through the extra parameters introduced by allowing the differential or integral orders to take non-integer values. The promising capabilities of fractional-order devices challenge the research to find a way to simulate its
Research Project
Ternary Logic Gates Design
Nowadays, the demand for building CNTFET-based ternary systems has been increasing. The current two-level binary logic and MOSFET technology have been facing limitations in chip size, design complexity, and power consumption. In this proposal, the method to design Ternary logic gates based on CNTFET and Memristor is proposed. Implementing Ternary Full-Adders and Multipliers is also discussed in
