Abstract

This paper proposes a hierarchical adaptive sampling scheme for passivity characterization of large-scale linear lumped macromodels. Here, large-scale is intended both in terms of dynamic order and especially number of input/output ports. Standard passivity characterization approaches based on spectral properties of associated Hamiltonian matrices are either inefficient or non-applicable for large-scale models, due to an excessive computational cost. This paper builds on existing adaptive sampling methods and proposes a hybrid multi-stage algorithm that is able to detect the passivity violations with limited computing resources. Results from extensive testing demonstrate a major reduction in computational requirements with respect to competing approaches.
