Experimental prototype of element with impedance of fractional order of 0.5 implemented in thick-film technology (capFOE_05)

Passive circuit element having fractional, i.e. non-integer, impedance order of approximately 0.5 in the frequency band 2.5 kHz to 400 kHz. The element is based on resistive-capacitive layered structures with distributed parameters. Genetic algorithms were used to design the geometric dimensions and parameters of the resistive and capacitive layers. The production of the element was performed in a thick-film technology. The component is intended for experimental realizations of fractional, i.e. non-integer, order circuits, e.g. frequency filters.
