Abstract

Many subsystems encountered in communication systems can be modeled as linear periodic time-varyiing (LPTV) systems. In this paper, we present a novel structure preserving reduced-order modeling algorithm for LPTV systems. A key advance of our approach is that it preserves the periodic time-varying structure during the reduction process, thus resulting in reduced LPTV systems. Unlike prior LPTV model order reduction (MOR) techniques which recast the LPTV systems to artificial linear timeinvariant (LTI) systems and apply LTI MOR techniques for reduction, our structure preserving algorithm uses a time-varying projection directly on the original LPTV systems. Our approach always produces a smaller system than the original system, which was not valid for previous LPTV MOR techniques. We validate the proposed technique with several circuit examples, demonstrating significant size reductions and excellent accuracy.
