Abstract: The disclosure provides a filtering module for a cavity filter having a housing defining an enclosed cavity, wherein a surface of the cavity is electromagnetically conductive; and a plurality of planar resonators arranged within the cavity, one or more of the resonators being rotatable about an axis of rotation so as to vary an electric-field coupling between the resonator and other resonators of the plurality of resonators. The disclosure also provides a cavity filter having an input for receiving a signal to be filtered; a plurality of filtering modules, each filtering module comprising: a cavity, wherein a surface of the cavity is electromagnetically conductive; and a plurality of resonators arranged within the cavity, at least one of the resonators being movable so as to vary an electromagnetic coupling between the resonator and other resonators of the plurality of resonators; and an output for outputting a filtered signal.
