QPpassive

QPpassive.zip is a package for enforcing passivity of pole-residue models as a post-processing step using quadratic programming.


This package contains a post-processing procedure for enforcing passivity of a model given on pole-residue form. This is done by introducing the passivity criterion as a constraint equation in the least squares problem. The routine requires the user to provide frequency samples for the least squares problem and the passivity constraint. A large number of options is available.
