Hallo,
I want to use the NonlinearFit algorithm to obtain the parameters of a
lossy line. There is a model
Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{
SqrtBox[
FractionBox[
RowBox[{
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[ImaginaryI]", " ", "f", " ", "L", " ",
"\[Pi]"}], "+",
RowBox[{
SqrtBox["f"], " ",
SqrtBox[
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[Pi]"}]], " ",
SubscriptBox["R", "skin"]}]}],
RowBox[{"G", "+",
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[ImaginaryI]", " ", "C", " ", "f", " ",
"\[Pi]"}]}]]], " ",
RowBox[{"Tanh", "[",
RowBox[{"1.`", " ",
SqrtBox[
RowBox[{
RowBox[{"(",
RowBox[{"G", "+",
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[ImaginaryI]", " ", "C", " ", "f",
" ", "\[Pi]"}]}], ")"}], " ",
RowBox[{"(",
RowBox[{
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[ImaginaryI]", " ", "f", " ", "L",
" ", "\[Pi]"}], "+",
RowBox[{
SqrtBox["f"], " ",
SqrtBox[
RowBox[{"2", " ", "\[Pi]"}]], " ",
SubscriptBox["R", "skin"]}]}], ")"}]}]]}], "]"}]}]],
"Output",
CellLabel->"Out[166]="]
that describes the input impedance of a lossy line when shorted at the
end. The line parameters to obtain are Rskin,L,G and C. f is the
independant variable. I have data of the line of the form {{f1,Z1},
{f2,Z2},...} where Z is of course complex.
Unfortunately NonlinearFit seems to have problems with complex numbers
since it returns with messages saying "Objective function isn't real
at...".
Does anyone knows how to fix NonlinearFit for complex numbers or any
other numerical method that could solve my problem?.
Thank you
Oliver
