This paper presents the design of a passive fractional-order element with tunable pseudocapacitance, enabling adaptable circuit behavior without additional power consumption. This is an important feature for modelling and characterization in natural systems, as well as in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, particularly for the design of instrumentation and sensing systems. The proposed topologies are based on integrated unipolar transistor arrays. Two implementations are demonstrated, with fractional orders of 0.22 and 0.5, offering pseudocapacitance adjustment ranges from 65 to 1 670 mikroF/s^0.78 and from 6.7 to 51 mikroF/s^0.5, respectively. Tuning is achieved through a DC bias voltage ranging from 0.8 to 10 V. The devices operate across nearly two decades of frequency, from approximately 100 Hz to 200 kHz, and support signal amplitudes in the hundreds of millivolts. Two application examples highlight their potential: electronic tuning of the center frequency in a fractional-order band-pass filter, and adjustment of the oscillation frequency in a fractional-order oscillator with a fixed 22.5 degrees phase shift between output waves. All concepts and results are experimentally validated in the laboratory.

The presented research introduces a novel approach to modern modular active device and provides various practical application examples tailored for industrial sensing readouts. Straightforward implementation of single active device-based topologies in frequency bands from kHz up to MHz is presented. These applications include: an electronically linearly tunable special band-pass filter that can be easily modified into a voltage-controlled oscillator, a two-port quadratic transformer, an amplitude modulator, and an equalization circuit (which serves as a fractional-order differentiator and integrator). These circuits benefit from high-impedance voltage input and low-impedance output (easily matched to 50 Ω), high processed signal levels (often reaching hundreds of mV), and simplified topologies without redundant passive elements. These features are especially valuable in tunable and configurable solutions for modern communication, sensing, audio, and consumer electronic systems, as well as in modeling various physical and biological systems. The experiments have been provided by simulations and measurements using device VCA824.

Integer- And fractional-order VCO using non-inertial amplitude stabilization and modern active elements

This paper introduces design of the linearly tunable quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using modern off-the-shelf active elements suitable for the design of electronically adjustable applications. The simplified topology was achieved using non-inertial stabilization of amplitude. It allows targeting adjustability of the oscillation frequency only into lossless integrator part of the topology. This arrangement simplifies the design and the tenability also. Derived symbolical expressions indicate that gain adjustment of used amplifiers (that are still in single path) does not influence amplitude and phase shift ratio of generated waveforms, which is a beneficial feature. The performances of the circuit are tested experimentally in band of units of MHz and results confirmed expected behavior. Initial study of the oscillator with fractional-order capacitors is presented and discussed. Results are supported by laboratory measurements.

Operational frequency bandwidth rescalable implementations of constant phase devices

This paper presents and verifies a method for rescalability of operational bandwidth in constant phase devices (two-port elements, two-port transfer blocks). Most importantly, in comparison with a standard approach, it allows to utilize suitable values of capacitance in the case of operation at low-frequency bands. The capacitance multipliers based on a controllable variable gain amplifier are implemented in examples of simple fractional-order systems (two-port integrators). These examples consist of novel bilinear immittances with independently settable zero and pole frequency coordinates, based on widespread commercially available current conveyors of second generation. The capacitance multiplier extends features of the bilinear immittance and full implementation of the system. PSpice simulations, using off-the-shelf elements, confirm operability of the proposed concept.
