This paper presents a frequency- and bandwidth-tunable bandstop filter using substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) resonators. For designing such a filter, this paper also presents a tunable coupling structure between a microstrip line and an SIW resonator for obtaining the bandwidth tuning capability. The coupling structure has two coupling slots between the microstrip line and the resonator, and the phase shift between the two slots determines the overall external coupling value of the resonator. This external coupling value can be controlled by making use of a phase shifter, which in turn makes it possible to adjust the bandwidth of a bandstop filter. A thorough mathematical analysis is shown using the equivalent circuit model of the presented coupling structure, and it has been verified by measuring an SIW resonator containing the presented structure. The presented tunable coupling structure has also been applied to a design of bandstop filter that can be tuned from 2.8 to 3.4 GHz. The measured results at 3.1 GHz show that the bandwidth can be tuned from 0 (all-pass) to 96 MHz reaching the attenuation level of 44 dB.
