In this paper we use a least-squares fitting routine to approximate the stopband ripple characteristics of fractional-order inverse Chebyshev lowpass filters which have fractional-order zeros and poles. MATLAB simulations of \((1+\alpha )\)-order lowpass filters with fractional steps from \(\alpha =0.1\) to \(\alpha =0.9\) are given as examples. SPICE simulations of 1.2-, 1.5-, and 1.8-order lowpass filters and experimental results of a 1.5-order filter using approximated fractional-order capacitors in a Multiple-Input Biquad circuit validate the implementation of these circuits.
