Abstract
A novel parametric model order reduction technique based on matrix interpolation for multiconductor transmission lines (MTLs) with delays having design parameter variations is proposed in this brief. Matrix interpolation overcomes the oversize problem caused by input-output system-level interpolation-based parametric macromodels. The reduced state-space matrices are obtained using a higher-order Krylov subspace-based model order reduction technique, which is more efficient in comparison to the Gramian-based parametric modeling in which the projection matrix is computed using a Cholesky factorization. The design space is divided into cells, and then the Krylov subspaces computed for each cell are merged and then truncated using an adaptive truncation algorithm with respect to their singular values to obtain a compact common projection matrix. The resulting reduced-order state-space matrices and the delays are interpolated using positive interpolation schemes, making it computationally cheap and accurate for repeated system evaluations under different design parameter settings. The proposed technique is successfully applied to RLC (R-resistor, L-inductor, C-capacitance) and MTL circuits with delays
