Instead of applying vector fitting and then enforcing passivity to the full numerical model, we show that it can be more efficient to obtain and enforce passivity on partial macromodels, and then construct the full macromodel through the concatenation of the respective state-space representation matrices. © 2018 IEEE.enTechnikConference Paper10.1109/EPEPS.2018.8534236Other
