Reflectance-based Foster impedance data modeling

Abstract

A reflectance-based method is presented to model a set of given Foster impedance data as a lossless singly terminated two-port consisting of lumped-elements in short or open termination. The basis of the new method rests on the interpolation of the given data as a realizable bounded-real (BR) reflection function. The desired circuit model is obtained by synthesizing this function. An algorithm to generate the circuit model is presented and an example is included which illustrates the utilization of the proposed modeling method.
