Syntax

pfit = makepassive(fit,s)
pfit = makepassive(fit,s,'Display','on')

Description

example

pfit = makepassive(fit,s) produces a passive fit by modifying the input, fit while optimally matching the data of S-parameter input, s. makepassive function does modifies the residues of the fit to make it passive.

pfit = makepassive(fit,s,'Display','on') solves as above, but turns on the display of iteration information. The default for 'Display' is 'off'.

Examples

Open Live Script

Read a file named passive.s2p and fit the 2x2 S-parameters.

 S = sparameters('passive.s2p');
 fit = rationalfit(S);

Plot the passivity of the 2x2 fit, noting the violations.

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Fit not passive, H indexOf infinity baseline blank n o r m blank i s blank 1 blank + blank 1 . 7 9 1 e - 0 2 blank a t blank 1 7 . 6 8 1 6 blank G H z ., xlabel Frequency (GHz), ylabel norm(H) contains 4 objects of type line. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers

Optimize residues to produce a passive fit still close to S.
