Abstract:  A Scattering-Parameters (S-Parameters) based macromodel of
distributed-lumped networks is presented.  The networks can include
capacitive cutsets, inductive loops, RLC meshes, and loss transmission
lines.  An efficient network reduction algorithm is developed to reduce
the original network into a network containing one multiport component
together with the sources and loads of interest.  The S-Parameters of
the circuit components are approximated by Taylor series to simplify
the reduction process.  Exponentially Decayed Polynomial Function
(EDPF) approximation is used to derive the macromodel, the higher
accuracy can be obtained by selecting time constant according to an
error criterion.  The macromodel is always stable for a stable system
and very flexible that the accuracy of the model can be controlled by
adjusting the order of approximation.  The experimental results
indicate that our model can approach the accuracy of SPICE with one
or two order less computing time.
