Two topologies of fractional-order oscillators based on CFOA and RC networks

This paper presents two general topologies of fractional order oscillators. They employ Current Feedback Op-Amp (CFOA) and RC networks. Two RC networks are investigated for each presented topology. The general oscillation frequency, condition and the phase difference between the oscillatory outputs are investigated in terms of the fractional order parameters. Numerical simulations and P-Spice simulation results are provided for some cases to validate the theoretical findings. The fractional order parameters increase the design flexibility and controllability which is proved by the provided experimental results. © 2018 IEEE.
