Abstract:
Recently, several time-domain passive macromodeling algorithms were proposed for distributed transmission-line networks. most or them employ some kind of approximation in the frequency domain to match the response up to a maximum frequency of interest and the behavior after the highest frequency is generally not considered. This can cause significant errors in transient responses (especially in the early-time period). In order to address this difficulty, we will present a new algorithm to reduce high-frequency errors in time-domain macromodels, while preserving passivity. The proposed algorithm is very useful in eliminating spurious ripples in the flat delay portion of transient responses of distributed transmission-line networks without needing to increase the order of approximation.
