Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating and analyzing reduced-order models of linear circuits. The method and apparatus generates a characteristic tridiagonal matrix using a look-ahead Lanczos procedure and then checks the matrix for stability and passivity. If the matrix is not stable and passive, the matrix is modified via a partial Pade via Lanczos approximation algorithm and then rechecked for passivity and stability. The process is iterated until a passive and stable model is generated. When a satisfactory matrix is generated, a Pade approximant of a transfer function of the circuit is computed and the frequency response of this circuit is generated and displayed.
