AbstractIn previous papers we presented MOR (Model Order Reduction) methods based on the construction of a Gram matrix subsequent to a decomposition in Laguerre series. In this paper we propose an alternative solution using Kautz series, more adequate for modeling poorly damped systems.
IntroductionEfficient reduced order modeling techniques have become a valuable tool for system designers in recent years, particularly in the field of VLSI circuit interconnects. In previous papers [1,5,6] we presented a Laguerre-Gram reduction method and its applications to VLSI circuits. The Laguerre-Gram method is basically a two step algorithm. The first step supposes a decomposition of the original transfer function (or transfer functions in the MIMO case) in a Laguerre series. With the Laguerre spectrum (or spectra) made available an approximation basis is constructed by repeated application of an adequate operator and a stable rational model is readily calculated. Some difficulties may however appear if the original system displays a slowly attenuated oscillating behavior. The method described in this paper proves a viable alternative in such cases. It follows the same two-step scenario describe above but it is no longer based on single-pole Laguerre functions but on two-pole Kautz functions more appropriate for modeling resonant systems.
