History and progress of fractional-order element passive emulators: A review

Abstract

This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey in the area of fractional-order element passive emulators adopted in circuits and systems. An overview of the different approximations used to estimate the passive element values by means of rational functions is also discussed. A short comparison table highlights the significance of recent methodologies and their potential for further research. Moreover, the pros and cons in emulation of FOEs are analyzed.
