Syntax

passivity(fit)
passivity(fit,xlimits)
[maxfreq,maxvalue,freqs,ns] = passivity(fit)

Description

passivity(fit) plots the passivity of the input, fit, over a range of frequencies. Passivity is measured by computing the H-infinity norm of the fit. H-infinity norm is the maximum two-norm of the transfer function H over all the frequencies (0, Inf).

example

passivity(fit,xlimits) plots the passivity with X-axis limits of the plot.

[maxfreq,maxvalue,freqs,ns] = passivity(fit) returns the data that is used to generate the plot.

Examples

Open Live Script

Read the file, passive.s2p and fit the 2-by-2 S-parameters.

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

Test the passivity of the 2-by-2 fit.

ispassive(fit)
ans = logical
   0

Plot the passivity of the 2-by-2 fit.
