Abstract :
Passive macromodeling of EM subnetworks and high-speed modules characterized by S-parameters has generated immense interest in recent years. The paper presents a comparison of two techniques for the passivity compensation of macromodels of S-parameter based subnetworks. The formulation and implementation of the two techniques are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to validate the theory presented.
