Fractional order Chebyshev-like low-pass filters based on integer order poles

Chebyshev filter is one of the most commonly used prototype filters that approximate the ideal magnitude response. In this paper, a simple and fast approach to create fractional order Chebyshev-like filter using its integer order poles is discussed. The transfer functions for the fractional filters are developed using the integer order poles from the traditional filter. This approach makes this

N-digits ternary carry lookahead adder design

Carry lookahead adders (CLAs) are extensively used in digital circuits due to their logarithmic computational time (O(log n)) compared to linear computational time(O(n)) in the ripple carry adders. In this paper, two design approaches for N-digits ternary logic CLA based on K-map and threshold logic methods are proposed in addtion to their realization using CNTFETs only and memristor with CNTFETs

Design of fopid controller for a dc motor using approximation techniques

This paper introduces a study of fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller applied to a DC motor. The idea is to control the motor speed using the FOPID and compare it with the conventional PID controller. Two approximation techniques are employed to realize the FOPID, which are Matsuda and Oustaloup, each with order four. Different responses are depicted for various fractional orders. A specific
