ABSTRACT

This study prepared ultralow electron-loss perovskites with spinel-like structures via a solid-state reaction. The (Mg0.95Co0.05)2(Ti0.95Sn0.05)O4 (MCTS) ceramic exhibited approximate values for ultrahigh quality factor, permittivity, and negative temperature coefficient (τf) of 310,000 GHz, 14.25, and −48.1 ppm/oC, respectively. To bring the τf closer to zero, a trace amount of (Ca0.95Sr0.05)(Ti0.97Sn0.03)O3 (CSTS) perovskite was added to MCTS during ceramic manufacturing. CSTS exhibited a permittivity of 92 and a large positive τf value of 810 ppm/°C. A 0.92MCTS–0.08CSTS hybrid ceramic sintered at 1325°C achieved remarkable microwave dielectric properties of εr ~18.42, Q×f ~ 237,000 GHz and τf ~3.72 ppm/°C. This mixed ceramic has significant potential for applications in manufacturing microwave devices.
