Abstract
Four practical sinusoidal oscillators are studied in the general form where fractional-order energy storage elements are considered. A fractional-order element is one whose complex impedance is given by Z = a(j?) ±?, where ? is a constant and a is not necessarily an integer. As a result, these oscillators are described by sets of fractional-order differential equations. The integer-order oscillation condition and oscillation frequency formulae are verified as special cases. Numerical and PSpice simulation results are given. Experimental results are also reported for a selected Wien-bridge oscillator. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
