Small additions of Bi2O3 or bismuth titanate improve the dielectric properties of Ba4.5Nd9Ti18O54 at microwave frequencies. It was found that Bi3+ can replace Nd3+ up to 15 mol%, the limiting composition of solid solution being Ba4.5(Nd0.85Bi0.15)9Ti18O54. At the solid solution limit the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency attains its minimum value. The modified ceramic is distinguished by high permittivity of 99 and a Q-value of 5500. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency is low, 15 ppm/K. After exceeding the solid solubility limit, additional Bi2O3 concentrates as a Bi-rich phase at the grain boundaries, causing considerable reduction of the Q-value and an increase of τf.

The effects of Bi substitution for Nd in Ba6−3xNd8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) solid solution upon the microstructures and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The solid solubility limit of Bi in Ba6−3xNd8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) solid solution was about 15 mol%, the same as that for x = 0.5, and densification of the present solid solutions could be performed well at lower temperatures. However, the variation tendency of microwave dielectric properties with composition in the present ceramics quite differed from that for x = 0.5: (1) The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency in the present ceramics showed a continuous variation from positive to negative and did not indicate extreme value at the solid solubility limit. (2) Near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency combined with high-ε and high-Qf values could be obtained in the present ceramics, while that for x = 0.5 had a lower limit of +15 ppm/°C. (3) The dielectric constant also showed a continuous increase for the present compositions, while that in x = 0.5 had an extreme at solid solubility limit. Ceramics with composition of Ba6−3x(Nd0.85,Bi0.15)8+2xTi18O54 (x = 2/3) showed excellent dielectric properties of ε = 99.1, Qf = 5290 GHz, and τf = −5.5 ppm/°C.

The microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of dielectric ceramics comprised of ZnNb2(1-x)TixO(6-3x) (x = 0 ~ 1) were investigated systematically using X-ray powder diffraction, SEM and a network analyzer in this study. The results showed that four phases were observed in this system. The dielectric properties at microwave frequencies exhibit a significant dependence on the composition and crystal structure of the ceramics. The dielectric constant ( er) of ZnNb2(1-x)TixO(6-3x)ceramics increases with increasing Ti content and the quality factors (Q ×f) significantly decreased. However, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( t f ) changes from –59.08 ppm/oC at x = 0 to + 25.1 ppm/oC at x = 1, and a zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( t f ) for this ceramics system was obtained at x = 0.84.

The microwave dielectric properties of Ca[(Li1/3Nb2/3)1−xMx]O3−δ (M = Sn, Ti, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) ceramics were investigated. In general, the ceramics prepared were multiphase materials. However, single-phase specimens having orthorhombic perovskite structure similar to CaTiO3 could be obtained in the vicinity of Sn = 0.2 to 0.3, and Ti = 0.2. As Sn concentration increased, the dielectric constant (εr) decreased and the quality factor (Q) significantly increased within the limited Sn concentration. As Ti concentration increased, the dielectric constant (εr) increased, the quality factor (Q) decreased, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) changed from a negative to positive value. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of 0 ppm/°C was realized at Ti = 0.2. The Q · fo value and εr for this composition were found to be 26100 GHz and 38.6, respectively.

Microwave ceramics of Ba(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 and Ba1-xSrx(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 were synthesized with conventional solid-state reaction method. Dielectric properties of the samples were studied as functions of compositions and sintering temperatures. Experimental results show that a higher Q×f value is reached by substituting Zn ions with Mg ions and a near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency is obtained by replacing Ba ions with Sr ions.

The microwave dielectric properties of (Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4 were investigated as a function of the amount of additives such as Nb2O5 Ta2O5 and Sb2O5 in the temperature range of 20 °C to 80 °C at 7 GHz. As the amount of additives increased up to 1.0 mol %, the unloaded Q increased due to the decrease of oxygen vacancies in the (Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4 lattice and then decreased with further addition of additives because the electron concentration was increased. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency turned more negative with increasing additives. Although the Nb+5, Ta+5, and Sb+5 ions have a similar ionic size and the same valence electronics, each resulted in different microwave dielectric properties.
