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 presented to validate the theoretical findings. The simulations have been done using Ad844 commercial CFOA model © 2014 IEEE.
Fractional order oscillators with single non-zero transmission matrix element
This paper presents a study of fractional order oscillator design based on a matrix. The presented oscillator consists of a general two port network and three impedances. Only two port with single element in its transmission matrix is discussed which gives four possible networks. Different combinations for one element have been investigated. The impedances associated with the studied networks are series or parallel connection of resistors in addition to fractional order capacitors. The characteristic equation, oscillation frequency and condition for each combination are introduced. Numerical discussions of the presented oscillators with Spice simulations are presented to validate the theoretical findings. © 2015 IEEE.
Fractional-order inverting and non-inverting filters based on CFOA
This paper introduces a study to generalize the design of a continuous time filters into the fractional order domain. The study involves inverting and non-inverting filters based on CFOA where three responses are extracted which are high-pass, band-pass and low-pass responses. The proposed study introduces the generalized formulas for the transfer function of each response with different fractional orders. The fractional-order filters enhance the design flexibility and controllability due to the extra degree of freedom provided by the fractional order parameters. The general fundamentals of these filters are presented by calculating the cutoff frequency equation. Different numerical solutions for the generalized fractional order filters are introduced. Stability discussion is presented for different fractional order cases. Spice simulations results are introduced to validate the theoretical findings. © 2016 IEEE.
Fractional-order oscillator based on single CCII
This paper presents a generalization of well-known phase shift oscillator based on single CCII into the fractional order domain. The general state matrix, characteristic equation and design equations are presented. The general oscillation frequency, condition and the phase difference between the oscillatory outputs are introduced in terms of the fractional order parameters. These parameters add extra degrees of freedom which in turn increase the design flexibility and controllability. Numerical discussion of five special cases is investigated including the integer case. Spice simulations and experimental results are introduced to validate the theoretical findings with stability discussion. © 2016 IEEE.
Image encryption based on double-humped and delayed logistic maps for biomedical applications
This paper presents a secured highly sensitive image encryption system suitable for biomedical applications. The pseudo random number generator of the presented system is based on two discrete logistic maps. The employed maps are: the one dimensional double humped logistic map as well as the two-dimensional delayed logistic map. Different analyses are introduced to measure the performance of the proposed encryption system such as: histogram analysis, correlation coefficients, MAE, NPCR as well as UACI measurements. The encryption system is proven to be highly sensitive to ±0.001% perturbation of the logistic maps parameters. The system is tested on medical images of palm print as well as Parkinson disease MRI images. © 2017 IEEE.
Mathematical analysis of gene regulation activator model
This paper presents a complete analysis of the mathematical model of the gene regulation process. The model describes the induced gene expression under the effect of activators. The model differential equations are solved analytically, and the exact solution of the gene model is introduced. Moreover, a study of the model dynamics, including the fixed points and stability conditions are presented. The parameters effects on the phase plane portraits and the transient responses of the mRNA as well as the protein concentrations are intensively detailed. This work serves as a brick stone towards a complete model for a complete gene regulation biological process for future prediction and control of diseases at the genetic level. © 2018 IEEE.
Two-port oscillators based on three impedance structure
This paper investigates the general analysis of the three impedance common B oscillators based on two port network. The concept is applied for 12 different impedance structures to obtain a second order oscillator where the condition and the frequency of oscillation are studied for each case. Then three special cases of two-port networks whose transmission matrices contain two non-zero elements are studied which represent MOS, BJT and gyrator circuits where six cases only can be adapted to have oscillation using gyrators. The effect on non-idealities of the current conveyor used to build gyrator on the condition and the frequency of oscillation is also studied. Finally three different cases are validated using the circuit simulations which match the theoretical study. © 2014 IEEE.
