Broadband macromodelling of passive components using orthonormal vector fitting

Vector fitting is widely accepted as a robust macromodelling tool for efficient frequency domain identification of passive components. The orthonormal vector fitting technique is introduced, which improves the numerical stability of the method, by using orthonormal rational functions. This leads to better conditioned equations, reduces the numerical sensitivity to the choice of starting poles significantly, limits the number of required iterations, and reduces the overall computation time.
