Systems and methods for parameter fitting and passivity enforcement for multi-port electronic devices

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for simulating an electrical characteristic of an electronic device having input ports and output ports. A device frequency response data structure is accessed that contains data associated with a plurality of port-to-port frequency responses of the electronic device, each port-to-port frequency response being associated with a plurality of frequencies. A QR decomposition is performed based on data from the frequency response data structure. A subset of the port-to-port frequency responses is selected based on the QR decomposition. A set of common poles is identified using the selected subset of port-to-port frequency responses, and a model of time domain behavior of the electronic device is generated using the set of common poles.
