Abstract :
This paper presents a fast iterative algorithm for passivity enforcement of large nonpassive macromodels that share a common set of poles. It is ensured that the maximum passivity violation is monotonically decreasing in each iteration step, and convergence to a passive macromodel is guaranteed.
