Fractional-Order Devices

Abstract

Recent research works show a trend in generalizing integer order dynamics to the fractional-order (FO) to study the behavior of different types of natural phenomenon. The same has been witnessed for analog circuit design. A large number of works can be found in theoretical and simulation domains to understand the analog FO circuits. There are quite a good number of works demonstrating hardware implementation of such circuits. Although FO devices are still not available as commercial products, several research groups around the world are actively pursuing this goal. This chapter discusses the design and performance of some FO circuits using prototype devices through simulation and hardware realization. The study extends and generalizes the domain of circuit theory. It addresses the complexity, advantages, and disadvantages of designing analog FO circuits and, ultimately, their role in helping us understand the mathematical formulation of natural dynamics.
