Fractional order oscillators based on operational transresistance amplifiers

In this paper, a general analysis of the fractional order operational transresistance amplifiers (OTRA) based oscillator is presented and validated through eight different circuits which represent two classifications according to the number of OTRAs. The general analytical formulas of the oscillation frequency, condition as well as the phase difference are illustrated for each case and summarized

Current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) based fractional order oscillators

This paper presents a study of fractional order oscillators based on current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOA). Two general cases have been discussed for the oscillation frequency and condition with the use of two fractional order elements of different orders. Design procedure for the two general cases is illustrated with numerical discussions. Circuit simulations for some special cases are

Fractional order two port network oscillator with equal order

Most of electric circuits can be viewed as a two port network with two terminals defined as input and output ports. In this paper, two different concepts are combined together which are the two port network concept and the fractional calculus to design a general fractional order two port network with equal order. An oscillator case study with three impedances structure has been presented. The

Resistorless memristor based oscillator

This paper introduces the replacement of four and six resistors with four and six memristors at the same time for the modified single input Op-Amps oscillator. The full independency between the oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency facilitates the study. Mathematical analysis is provided for the double replacement of resistors with memristors. The whole range of operation of the

The modified single input Op-Amps memristor based oscillator

This paper introduces the modified single input Op-Amps memristor based oscillator. The oscillator is realized with ideal, LM741 and current feedback (AD844) Op-Amps where memristors replace resistors. The effect of memristor on the oscillation frequency and the oscillation condition that are totally independent is studied. This helped in studying the whole operation regime of the memristor. The
