This paper introduces two FPGA based design approaches of the fractional order integrator and differentiator using Grünwald Letnikov (GL) definition where fixed window and linear approximation approaches are considered. The main advantage of the linear approximation method is that it reduces the huge memory of the fractional order systems. One of the top applications of fractional calculus is the

In this paper, complete analysis and design for fractional-order oscillators based on double Op-Amp are presented. The fractional order parameters enrich the oscillator design by offering the extra degree of freedom which adds more flexibility to the design. Two oscillators with double op-Amp are introduced. The oscillation frequency, condition, phase difference and the characteristic equation for

Due to the large usage of internet, our environment is transformed into digital society, in which everything is connected together and can be accessed from anywhere. This is the Internet of things (IoT), which refers to the usage of intelligently connected devices and systems. These devices usually collect their data from sensors and actuators in machines and other physical objects. This makes

A novel resistorless topology for implementing fractional-order capacitor emulators, based on the employment of Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) as active elements, is presented in this paper. The benefits of this topology are its simplicity in terms of component count, compared to other existing topologies in the literature, in addition to its electronic tunability. The performance

Combinatorial optimization is the search for an optimal configuration of a set of variables to accomplish certain goals. One of the well-known combinatorial optimization problems is the timetabling problem, with a lot of research conducted in the past few decades to investigate a variety of methodologies to solve it. One of the blossoming recent methodologies is hyper-heuristics, which attempts to

We show that the four parameters of a single-dispersion Cole-Cole bio-impedance model can be extracted from an one time-domain measurement with a fixed frequency. In particular, a periodic triangle waveform current excitation signal is injected into the biological sample under study while measuring the voltage developed across this sample in a galvanostatic measurement setup. The voltage response

Supercapacitors are typically used in applications requiring frequent and continuous charging/discharging cycles, but most of the models available in the literature are designed to predict their behavior for a single sequence. In this letter, we show first that the electrical response and metrics of supercapacitors under periodic voltage excitations can generally be obtained using Fourier series

Exploring the nonlinear dynamics of the memristors is essential to be adequately used in the applications. Realizing memristor on FPGAs as an intellectual property (IP) core offers a flexible platform to realize different models. In the literature, few implementations have been proposed for simple and limited memristor model. In this brief, two discrete and continuous versatile memristor models

This paper reports on the variations in the parameters of the single dispersion Cole bio-impedance model of Daucus Carota Sativus (carrots) under heating and freezing conditions. Experiments are conducted on six samples with recorded live bio-impedance spectra versus temperature. The Cole model parameters are extracted from the measured data using the Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA)
