Abstract:
The Mg
4Nb
2O
9-CaTiO
3 composite ceramics were synthesised by the conventional solid-state reaction. The effects of Li
2CO
3-V
2O
5 (LV) addition on the sintering behavior, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Mg
4Nb
2O
9/CaTiO
3 ceramics were investigated. It is found that an amount LV co-doped can effectively low the desification sintering temperature to 1200℃ of Mg
4Nb
2O
9/CaTiO
3 ceramics. Two-phase system was confirmed by the XRD and EDX spectrum analysis. A near zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was obtained. Inparticular, a new Mg
4Nb
2O
9-CaTiO
3 ceramics with 1.5% mass fraction of LV doped sintered at 1200℃ for 5h exhibited excellent microwave dieletric properties of
ε=23.29,
Qf=23460GHz and
τf=1.0×10
-6℃
-1. It is proposed as a candidate subatrate material for GPS microstrip antenna.
