TINKTEP: A fully self-consistent, mutually polarizable QM/MM approach based on the AMOEBA force field
PublicationWe present a novel quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach in which a quantum subsystem is coupled to a classical subsystem described by the AMOEBA polarizable force field. Our approach permits mutual polarization between the QM and MM subsystems, effected through multipolar electrostatics. Self-consistency is achieved for both the QM and MM subsystems through a total energy minimization scheme. We provide an expression...

A Self-Equalized Waveguide Filter With Frequency-Dependent (Resonant) Couplings
PublicationThis letter presents a design of a fifth-order linear phase filter with frequency-dependent couplings. The filter is composed of a triplet that is directly coupled to two resonators at the input and output. To provide group delay flattening a cross-coupling in the trisection has a strongly dispersive character with a negative slope parameter. To achieve this, an E-plane stub with a septum was used. To further improve the filter...
