AI summary

Provided are a passive-device impedance fitting method and apparatus, and an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring an impedance characteristic curve obtained by means of actual measurement; dividing the impedance characteristic curve to obtain M resonant wavebands arranged in sequence, wherein an impedance model corresponding to a wide resonant peak is p groups of RLC parallel circuits that are connected in series, p being an integer greater than or equal to 2; performing iterative optimization through a preset optimization algorithm based on the initial parameter of an i-th impedance model and a corresponding optimization floating range, and using a group of parameters that is obtained by optimization and has a minimum error with respect to an actual parameter, with the error being less than a set value, as a model parameter of the i-th impedance model; and obtaining an equivalent impedance model for replacing a passive device based on the model parameters of the impedance models respectively corresponding to the M resonant wavebands. Therefore, accurate expression of the impedance of the passive device can be realized, thereby facilitating an electromagnetic-interference suppression design based on an equivalent impedance model.
