Complex-order differintegral (COD) is the extended version of fractional-order one in which the differintegral order can be a complex number rather than a real number. In comparison with fractional-order differintegral (FOD), the distinguishing feature of the COD is that the phase slope of its Bode diagram is a function of imaginary part of the complex order of the COD. In this paper, by the use of this property of the COD, a robust control system is proposed. The design procedure and the realization of the proposed COD-based closed-loop control system are discussed. Since the phase of COD’s frequency response is a nonsymmetric function of frequency, stability analysis of the proposed control system is considered a problematic task. It is proven that for the stability of the control system, it is essential that the COD be applied in a limited frequency band that is derived by the use of the Nyquist stability criterion. Finally, some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and superiority of the proposed complex-order control system.
