TY - JOUR AU - Székely, Vladimir TI - Identification of RC Networks by Deconvolution: Chances and Limits JF - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS I - FUNDAMENTAL THEORY AND APPLICATIONS J2 - IEEE T CIRC SYST FUND VL - 45 PY - 1998 IS - 3 SP - 244 EP - 258 PG - 15 SN - 1057-7122 DO - 10.1109/81.662698 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2671270 ID - 2671270 AB - This paper deals with the identification of RC networks from their time-or frequency-domain responses. A new method is presented based on a recent approach of the network description where all response functions are calculated by convolution integrals. The identification is carried out by deconvolution (NID method). This paper discusses the practical details of the method. Special attention is paid to the identification and modeling of distributed RC networks, like the problems of conductive heat-flow, A number of examples make easy to understand the operation and the capabilities of the NID method. Comparative considerations are given concerning the accuracy and expenses of the NID and the popular AWE (momentum-matching) methods.

The paper introduces the SISSSI electro-thermal simulation package which is a recent realization of the latter method, fully integrated into the Cadence Opus design framework. The use of the package as an analogue circuit layout design verification tool is demonstrated through a detailed case study. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
