Matrix Fitting Toolbox

Matrix Fitting Toolbox contains a complete procedure for multi-port rational modeling from frequency domain data.. It is applicable to both Y-parameter and S-parameter data sets. Rational fitting and passivity enforcement is achieved by two subsequent function calls. The fitting procedure is based on vector fitting (vectfit3.m) while the passivity enforcement is based on perturbation of residue matrix eigenvalues with passivity assessment by half-size test matrices. A routine is avilable for generating netlist for ATP-EMTP.

This package (Matrix_Fitting_Toolbox_1.zip) contains Matlab routines for generating a multi-port rational model from tabulated data in the frequency domain. It is applicable to both Y-parameter and S-parameter data sets. It is intended to replace the previous mtrxfit.zip by offering superior computational speed and robustness.

  • VFdriver.m  calculates a rational model starting from a tabulated data (square matrix) in the frequency domain. It makes use of routine
    vectfit3.m, also contained in the package. The returned result is a pole-residue model as well as the associated state-space model. The model has guaranteed stable poles.
  • RPdriver.m perturbs the model generated by VFdriver.m such that it becomes passive, by perturbing the eigenvalues of the its residue matrices. The model can represent both Y-parameter data and S-parameter data. The routine also takes care of the passivity assessment.
