Speech Title: Recent developments in the Fractional Order Differentiators and Integrators
Abstract: The main objective of the paper is to present recent developments of the analysis, design and applications of analog and digital differentiators and integrators of fractional order. Recently fractional order circuits are drawing attention of many of the researchers. Active and passive realization of analog fractional order device and its applications in various circuits is presented. Design of Digital differentiators and integrators of fractional order using direct and indirect discretization techniques is presented. Real time environment implementation using TMS320C6713 DSP processor is presented. In the last, applications of these fractional order differentiators and integrators in the fields of Bio-Medical Signal Processing, and Image processing is explained. The obtained results are in comparison with the conventional techniques.
