Reliable High-Frequency Fabricated Fractional-Order Capacitors and Their Passive Circuit Models

Abstract

The impedance characteristics of three different type of fractional-order capacitors (FOCs) with an order of -0.74, -0.79, and -0.91 are analyzed. The used devices have excellent feature such as constant phase angle in the frequency range 10 MHz - 100 MHz. Their impedance data is fitted with second-order passive electrical model structures of Foster-I abd Foster-II using standard EIA-48 compliant component values phase error. The effect on phase and pseudo-capacitance using a detailed experimental study of series-, parallel-, and inter-connected FOCs is also shown.
