At present there are at least 2 commercial tools that that I am aware of
thatstate they enforce passivity in the models they generate. Those
tools are: Sigrity's BroadBand Spice (latest version), EMWonders's
EMtoSPICE. There are several other companies providing tools to
generate spice models via the rational approximation approach from
measured or simulated S and/or Y parameters, but I'm not aware that they
have implemented passivity enforcement.. I'm sure someone will chime in
if there other tools that enforce passivity that I'm not aware of.
If you haven't examined the work of Dr. Gustavsen at SINTEF, I suggest
you visit his Vector Fitting web site at
http://www.energy.sintef.no/Produkt/VECTFIT/index.asp . You will find
his papers and further info on vector fitting in general and passivity
enforcement in particular including downloadable Matlab code which
implements those concepts. In addition to the commercial tools available
you may want to check out the work done at Georgia Tech by Dr.
Swaminathan and his students on a tool called BEMP. The tool enforces
passivity and is extensively discussed in several of the papers they
have published.
Most of the passivity enforcment work that I am aware of deals with the
problem of S-parameters at DC by
extrapolating the s-parameter data from the lowest frequency data points
available down to DC if a value at DC is not provided in the data set.
