is a yig filter a fixed Q or can you control the passband?

I've never seen a yig filter with adjustable bandwidth.
AFAIK only frequency is adjustable.

Google found this patent from 1969 which used varactors to tune the bandwidth:

Perhaps they do exist...

Is this a general question, or are you interested in variable Q YTOs?

I would be interested if you happen to come across some. Apart from that post above, I have never seen a YTO with tunable Q.
