Analog Circuit Implementation of Fractional-Order Modified Chua’s Circuit

Abstract

In this paper, the analog circuit implementation of a fractional-order chaotic system is presented. Fractionalization is achieved by replacing integer-order capacitors and inductors with their fractional-order counterparts in Chua’s circuit. The paper provides a model for implementing fractional-order capacitors and inductors in the circuit. The results obtained from simulating the fractional-order Chua’s circuit are compared with those derived from the Grünwald-Letnikov numerical solution. All results show strong agreement.
