The step response characteristics of first and second order systems are well known. On the other hand, the step response of fractional order systems (FOSs) with 2-term fractional denominator is like those of first and second order systems. But there are important differences between the two types of characteristics. Considering the step response, the behavior of simple FOS with a denominator polynomial having unity term and the other involves fractional power is investigated in this paper comparatively with 1st and 2nd order systems. The results bring light for the design of fractional order control systems (FOCSs).
