Black box model and singular value based model order reduction for interconnects

This paper presents the abstract modelling of nonlinear systems in a high density interconnection environment. The approach is based on linear as well as nonlinear black box modelling procedures and takes advantage of order reduction algoritms. The transfer function of the whole interconnect system is established knowing only very little information about the system and is constructed from arbitrary input and output signals using linear black box approaches. The high order of the transfer function is reduced by using a singular value decomposition method.
