Partial fraction expansion–based realizations of fractional-order differentiators and integrators using active filters

Approximations of the fractional-order differentiator and integrator operators s±r are proposed in this work. These approximations target the realization of these operators using standard active filter transfer functions. Hence, circuit implementations in integrated circuit form or in discrete component form are significantly facilitated. Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) realizations

Simple MOS transistor-based realization of fractional-order capacitors

A new second-order MOS transistor based circuit block approximating the behavior of a fractional-order capacitor is proposed. The circuit is modular and therefore the order of the approximation can be increased by more stages of the same circuit in cascade or in parallel. Simulation results using a TSMC 65nm CMOS technology are provided and show less than 2o of phase error in two decades around
