Generalization of third-order low pass filters to the fractional-order domain with experimental results

This paper is concerned with the generalization of continuous-time 3rd order low-pass filters to the fractional order domain. Three fractional-order capacitors of the same order α are to be considered in the process of filter design. A complete mathematical analysis of the 3rd order fractional low-pass filter is given with stability constraints taken into consideration. Finally, several low-pass

One-terminal electronically controlled fractional-order capacitor and inductor emulator

A novel topology for simultaneous emulation of fractional-order capacitors and inductors is presented in this paper. In particular, only one control terminal is used in order to select the type of the element as well as its fractional order. This is achieved through an appropriate fitting of the expressions of the intermediate bias currents, in such a way that, eventually, only the adjustment of

Supercapacitor discharge under constant resistance, constant current and constant power loads

Supercapacitors, which are now widely used as power sources in various applications, are discharged with one of the following three basic discharge modes: a constant current load, a constant resistance load or a constant power load. A constant current load is one which varies its internal resistance to achieve a constant current regardless of the applied voltage. For the constant resistance case

Frational Order Inverse Filters Based on CCII Family

This paper proposes two generalized topologies of fractional order inverse filters (FOIF). All possible realizations of each topology are investigated using the second generation current conveyor (CCII) family. Inverse fractional highpass (IFHPF), inverse fractional bandpass (IFBPF), and inverse fractional lowpass (IFLPF) filters are realized using the same topology based on the generalized

Modulating the energy storage of supercapacitors by mixing close-to-ideal and far-from-ideal capacitive carbon nanofibers

The quest for high performance supercapacitors from the energy-power point of view is commonly addressed from the constituting electrode materials and/or the electrolyte. Carbon-based double-layer capacitors are known for their high power density, whereas pseudocapacitors which use transition metal oxides/nitrides/sulfides or conductive polymers are known for their high energy density. In this

Analysis and Design of Fractional-order Low-pass Filter with Three Elements of Independent Orders

This paper studies a new fractional-order form for the active low-pass filter. The form was mainly generated from generalizing an active second-order low-pass filter with three capacitors to the fractional-order domain with three independent orders. The transfer function introduced an extra term in the denominator comprising the third fractional order. The effect of the third fractional-order
