Fractal Elements and their Applications

  • Presents new passive electronic components, in which the relationship between the current and the voltage at the terminals is described by differential equations of fractional order (i.e., fractal impedance elements or "fractal elements")
  • Emphasizes the theoretical understanding, hardware implementation and practical application of fractional-order dynamics
  • Enables engineers with the tools of fractal geometry and fractional analysis to develop new instruments, devices and systems for signal processing
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Analog Circuits and Signal Processing (ACSP)

About this book

This book describes a new type of passive electronic components, called fractal elements, from a theoretical and practical point of view. The authors discuss in detail the physical implementation and design of fractal devices for application in fractional-order signal processing and systems. The concepts of fractals and fractal signals are explained, as well as the fundamentals of fractional calculus. Several implementations of fractional impedances are discussed, along with comparison of their performance characteristics. Details of design, schematics, fundamental techniques and implementation of RC-based fractal elements are provided.
