Tunable fractional-order band-pass filter of order 2?

In this work, a novel implementation of a tunable fractional-order bandpass filter of order 2? is proposed. The transfer function of the presented filter is approximated using the second-order Continued Fraction Expansion (CFE) approximation technique. The filter transfer function is realized using the Inverse Follow the Leader Feedback (IFLF) structure. The Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) are used to implement the filter circuit. Furthermore, the proposed filter is tunable by varying the value of only one bias current, which adjust the value of ?. The simulations are performed using Matlab and Cadence software with UMC 0.13? m CMOS technology. © 2019 IEEE.

Comprehensive comparison based on meta-heuristic algorithms for approximation of the fractional-order Laplacian s ? as a weighted sum of first-order high-pass filters

To implement an approximation of the fractional order Laplacian operator s ? as a weighted sum of high pass filter sections, it is essential to extract the cutoff frequencies and filter gains of each section in order to achieve the lowest error possible
