These tutorials cover various aspects of RF / microwave filter design and EM simulation techniques. More advanced training is available from DGS Associates.
Design flow for high Q cavity combline filters based on the Dishal K & Q method with port tuning and equal ripple optimization. This design flow can be expanded to include cross-couplings. Webinar sponsored by ANSYS and hosted by Microwave Journal, April 23, 2017.

This work builds on the previous tutorial and adds a cross-coupling to a microstrip combline filter. The cross-coupling is realized using optimization and without resorting to any synthesis. Webinar sponsored by Sonnet Software and hosted by Microwave Journal, August 2, 2017.

Optimization of a cavity combline filter using a "calibrated" port tuning process. Tuning and coupling screws lengths are optimized until we find a nearly perfect equal ripple response. The moving mesh feature in CST Microwave Studio is a key feature in this process.
