Abstract

This paper presents a new technique for the generation of linear lumped macromodels from input-output port characterization. A complete set of transient port responses is processed by a new time-domain formulation of the well-known Vector Fitting algorithm. The data processing involves a combination of digital filtering and least squares fitting. Passivity of the obtained macromodel is enforced a posteriori by applying an iterative perturbation technique to the associated Hamiltonian matrix.
