One of the model order reduction methods which can handle this nonlinear behavior is a Trajectory-Piecewise linear model order reduction (TPWL MOR) algorithm [1]. In our previous paper [2] we addressed one of the most important questions for TPWL MOR, namely the choice of linear reduction procedures. In the above mentioned paper we have showed that a truncated-balanced realization (TBR) linear reduction produces much more accurate reduced TPWL models than ones in which the Krylov-subspace linear reduction methods were used. However, for the case of a micromachined switch example we observed unexpected behavior. Some of the reduced models were very accurate, but some were unstable. This observation raised a totally new question - how can we choose a correct order for linear reduction in such way as to account for perturbations in linear model caused by nonlinearity In this paper we use perturbation theory approach to analyze using truncated balanced realization (TBR) linear reduction in a Trajectory-Piecewise linear (TPWL) nonlinear model reduction method. We show that the most important factor affecting perturbation properties of the reduction basis of TBR is a spacing of Hankel singular values. The result is applied to choosing an order of reduction basis. References: [1] M.
