    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.

    Two novel scalable and electronically adjustable differentiator designs are presented in this paper. These designs are based on special variable gain amplifiers extending well-known concept of standard single operational amplifier-based differentiators. The key novelty lies in their scalability, which allows for an enhanced time constant value by adjusting the ratio of resistors. Simultaneously, the special form of gain control using a DC voltage offers wide electronic tunability. The solution performs high input and low output impedance, both independent of frequency. Experimental testing demonstrated time constant adjustments in two configurations: from 64 ns to 4.5 µs (a ratio of maximal and minimal value 70) and from 8.7 µs to 183 µs (a ratio of 21). As an application example, the proposed differentiator is utilized in the design of a readout system for an absolute phase shift difference to pulse width ratio converter, suitable for monitoring a very slow phenomenon such biosignals.

    Introduction: Infra-red (IR) and visible light (VL) based systems developed for transmission of information about physical quantities (e.g. humidity, temperature) out from closed areas, cannot be effectively employed in case of specific conditions in a targeted environment (because of fog or vapor for example). Objectives: In this work, we introduce a concept of wireless short-range transmitter and receiver to sense physical quantities, for instance temperature, with slow variation. The proposed concept is able to transmit analog-based information from isolated environments (e.g. aquariums or environments for plant growing) with high immunity against vapor and fog that limits standard optical (laser, IR band) methods of communication. Methods: In this work, a new concept of short range radiofrequency (RF) communication device consisting of transmitting and receiving parts build from active devices fabricated in 0.35 μm I3T25 3.3 V CMOS process and ferrite antennas is selected. RF part uses medium-wave propagation within 10 mm distance at frequency 700 kHz. Such an approach offers minimal path loss of the radiated energy of a signal and low-gain amplification required for restoration of similar levels as available at the transmitting side. Results: The processing of base-band signals of simple (sine wave) and complex (electrocardiogram) character was verified experimentally through the system. Application example of temperature monitoring in a closed environment, based on a temperature sensor (thermistor), verifies operationability in temperature range from 10 °C up to 50 °C. Conclusion: Compared to state-of-the-art solution, the presented concept has several advantages, for instance: less complexity; using of simpler type of modulation and demodulation; lower power consumption and significantly reduced issues caused by an environment with special transmission conditions (e.g. fog and vapor). The obtained results are in good agreement with expectations. Among others, the presented system brings beneficial performances for similar applications targeting on monitoring of low-frequency or slowly varying signals.
