Passivity-preserving parameterized model order reduction for PEEC based full wave analysis

We present a novel parameterized model order reduction technique applicable to the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit method that is able to generate parametric reduced order models, stable and passive by construction, over a user defined design space. Overall stability and passivity of the parametric reduced order model are guaranteed by an efficient and reliable combination of traditional passivity-preserving model order reduction methods and interpolation schemes based on a class of positive interpolation operators. A pertinent numerical example validates the proposed parameterized model order reduction approach.
