Abstract

This paper addresses identification of nonlinear circuits for power-balanced virtual analog modeling and simulation. The proposed method combines a port-Hamiltonian system formulation with kernel-based methods to retrieve model laws from measurements. This combination allows for the estimated model to retain physical properties that are crucial for the accuracy of simulations, while representing a variety of nonlinear behaviors. As an illustration, the method is used to identify a nonlinear passive peaking EQ.
