The influence of CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics were investigated. The co- doping of CuO, V2O5 and Bi2O3 can significantly lower the sintering temperature of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics from 1150°C to 900°C. The Zn3Nb2O8-0.5wt% CuO-0.5wt% V2O5-2.0wt% Bi2O3 ceramic sintered at 900°C showed a relative density of 97.1%, a dielectric constant (εr) of 18.2, and a quality factor (Q×f) of 36781 GHz. The dielectric properties in this system exhibited a significant dependence on the relative density, content of additives and sintering temperature. The relative density and dielectric constant (εr) of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased with increasing CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 additions. And also the relative density and dielectric constant of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased by the augment of the sintering temperature.

The effects of CuO and V2O5 addition on sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics were investigated. With CuO and V2O5 addition, the sintering temperature of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 can be effectively reduced from 1150 to 950oC. The dielectric constant of the low fired 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics was not significantly changed while the quality factor was affected by additives. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency value was increased in negative value with the additive contents. V2O5 and CuO additives effectively improved the densification and dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics. The correlation between the phase constituents and the dielectric properties was investigated with additive contents.

The effect of CuO/B2O3 additions on the sintering behaviors, microstructures, and microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics is investigated. It is found that the sintering temperatures are lowered efficiently from 1600 °C to 1350 °C, as 1 wt % CuO, 1 wt % B2O3, and 0.5 wt % CuO +0.5 wt % B2O3 are used as the sintering aids due to the appearance of the liquid phase sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics with the sintering aid additions are strongly related to the densification and the microstructure of the sintered ceramics. At the sintering temperature of 1300 °C, the 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramic with 0.5 wt % CuO + 0.5 wt % B2O3 addition shows the best dielectric properties, including a dielectric constant (εr) of 21, approximate quality factor (Q × f) of 22,500 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −3 ppm/°C.

The structure and dielectric properties of Barium Zinc Tantalate (BZT) doped by copper oxide (CuO) with a variety of values of mol% doping from 0, 0.1, 0.25, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.5 were prepared using a solid state method. The addition of CuO did not disturb the 1:2 ordering structure of the BZT ceramic. The grain size increased when the addition of doping increased. A small amount of doping elements increased the relative density. The dielectric constant (ɛr) value of the BZT significantly improved with the addition of the CuO for the specimens sintered at 1250°C and it could be explained by the increase of the relative density. The tan δ of the CuO doped with BZT ceramics is lower than pure BZT ceramics, and decreases as the CuO content increases. Meanwhile, for the percentage of bandwidth (%BW) it is shown that the best result is produced when it is doped with 0.25 mol% CuO and sintered at 1250°C. The best microwave dielectric properties obtained were ɛr=70.28, tan δ = 0.024, %BW = 7.83 which occurred for the 0.25 mol% doped CuO and when sintered at 1250°C/4 h.

Ba4Sm9.33Ti18O54(BST) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. The effect of CuO-Bi2O3co-doping on the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of BST ceramics has been investigated. The results indicated that when the total addition of CuO-Bi2O3doping agent was 1.0wt%, the sintering temperature of BST ceramics was reduced to 1240°C as a result of liquid-phase sintering effect derived from CuBi2O4. When the total addition of CuO-Bi2O3was fixed at 1.0wt%, the microwave dielelctric properties of BST were improved by adjusting the mass percentage of Bi2O3. With the increase of Bi2O3amount from 20wt% to 80wt%, the dielectric constant (εr) decreased, the quality factor (Q•f) increased and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) shifted from negative value to positive value. The excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr=82.51, Q•f=7878GHz and τf=+6.02ppm/ were obtained for the sample with Bi2O3amount of 80wt% when sintered at 1240°C for 3h.

The microwave dielectric properties of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (abbreviated as 95MCT hereafter) ceramics have been studied for application in dielectric cross coupling filters. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were selected as liquid sintering aids to lower the sintering temperature and enhance the Qf value of 95MCT and simultaneously we varied the mole ratio of [Formula: see text] to tune the microwave dielectric properties of 95MCT. When the [Formula: see text] mole ratio was 1.5 and the co-doping content was 0.25 wt.%, the optimal sintering temperature of 95MCT ceramic could be lowered from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and the Qf value could be improved by about 7.7%. The optimal microwave dielectric properties obtained under this condition were Qf = 72730 GHz (6.8 GHz), [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which demonstrated great potential usage in ceramic industry. High values of Qf ceramic were used to design the dielectric cross coupling filter. The dielectric filter measured at 2.35 GHz exhibited a 6.7% bandwidth (insert loss [Formula: see text] dB) of center frequency.

The influence of ZnO and Nb2O5 additions on the sinterability, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of (Mg0.95Ca0.05)TiO3 (abbreviated as 95MCT hereafter) ceramic is investigated. XRD patterns indicate that MgTi2O5 secondary phase can be effectively suppressed by ZnO and Nb2O5 additions, which is beneficial for improving the microwave dielectric properties. Appropriate amount of Nb2O5 addition can effectively improve the Qf value of 95MCT ceramic, which is suggested to be ascribed to the reduced oxygen vacancies. When the ZnO: Nb2O5 mole ratio is 1.5 and the co-doping content is 0.25wt%, the optimal microwave dielectric properties can be obtained Qf=72730GHz(6.8GHz), εr=20.29 and τf=-6.84ppm/°C and the sintering temperature of 95MCT is lowered from 1400°C to 1320°C.

In the search of more microwave dielectric materials with high-quality factor (Qf ) and high relative dielectric constant (r), RENbO4 (where RE = Y, Ce, Yb) niobate ceramics were synthesized from a solid-state ceramic route, their sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. All of the RENbO4 ceramics formed a single-phase fergusonite-type structure (monoclinic, with space group I2/c), except CeNbO4. They all have an excellent quality factor and dielectric constant value in range of 20 – 28, and the inherent reasons were analyzed.

In the present work, the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of BaTi4O9 ceramics derived from a sol-gel precursor were presented. Density measuring results demonstrated that the largest densities of ceramic sample about 96.7% could be reached by virtue of a cool iso-static press and a sintering process at at 1300 °C for 6 hours. The dielectric constant (εr), quality factor (Q×f) and the temperature coefficients (τf) of the BaTi4O9 ceramic samples were 36.65, 28000 GHz, +20.2 ppm/°C, respectively. XRD, SEM and XPS were used to characterize the microstructure of the ceramics samples. Substantial Ti3+ was proposed to be the cause of dielectric loss.

Microwave dielectric properties and microstructures of (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 ceramics prepared by the conventional solid-state route have been studied. The values of the dielectric constant (εr) were 22-26. The Q×f values of 10400–11500 GHz were obtained when the sintering temperatures were in the range of 1400–1490°C. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency τf was not sensitive to the sintering temperature. The εr value of 26, the Q×f value of 11500 GHz, and the τf value of-9 ppm/°C were obtained for (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 ceramics sintering at 1490°C. The ceramic, (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 is proposed as a suitable candidate material for application in highly selective microwave ceramic passive components.
