Multiport Model Order Reduction With Multiple Expansion Points

Abstract

Multiple expansion points are introduced to the multi-port Cauer ladder network method to realize an efficient model order reduction of an eddy-current field. The proposed method can set multiple target frequencies to cover a wide frequency range with a small number of multi-port electric network elements. A time-dependent response to pulse-width-modulation (PWM) excitation is accurately reconstructed by setting the target frequencies at both fundamental and carrier frequencies.
