A Passive Network Synthesis from Two-Terminal Measured Impedance Characteristic

Abstract

A linear high-frequency lumped-element model extraction from a two-terminal measured impedance by an improved element-by-element extraction method is described. This extraction method is extended to series and shunt resistors extraction as lossy elements of passive (linear) circuit network. The extracted linear circuit models from the two-terminal impedance of ideal and realistic passive networks is validated by SPICE simulations in a frequency domain. The extracted model can be used for more accurate electrical environment modeling and SPICE simulations of integrated circuits including external passive networks. An example of passive network synthesis from the two-terminal measured impedance by a proposed software is also presented.
