The present invention relates to a microwave filter comprising a plurality of coupled resonators (2a-2e, 22a-22g), wherein the plurality of coupled resonators (2a-2e, 22a-22g) includes at least one coaxial resonator (2a-2e, 22a-22b, 22g) comprising a housing having a lower end wall (4, 24), a sidewall (5, 25) extending upwardly from the lower end wall (4, 24) and an upper end wall (3, 23) and an inner conductor (6, 26) disposed within the housing and extending upwardly from the lower end wall (4, 24) along the longitudinal axis of the housing. At least one of the coaxial resonators (2a-2e, 22a-22b, 22g) comprises in its lower end wall (4, 24) and/or in its upper end wall (3, 23) a coupling means (7d, 8, 32) for effecting electromagnetic coupling of the respective coaxial resonator (2a- 2d, 22b, 22g) with an adjacent resonator.
