The microwave dielectric properties and the structure of $Sb_2O_5$ modified $BiNb_xSb_{1-x}O_4$ ceramics were investigated. The structure of these ceramics were orthohombic phase at all sintering temperatures and there were not the second phase. These ceramics added sintering additive such as CuO and $V_2O_5$ were sinterable at a low temperature$(880^{\circ}C{\sim}960^{\circ}C)$ by liquid phase. Dielectric properties of $BiNb_xSb_{1-x}O_4$ ceramics were also improved than these of $BiNbO_4$ ceramics. The content of modified atom controlled the microstructure, dielectric constant and quality factor. As a result, We could obtain following result; ${\varepsilon}r$=42~44, $Q{\cdot}f_0$=20,000~42,000GHz, $\tau_f=-7{\sim}-28ppm/^{\circ}C$.

Microwave dielectric properties of $BiNbO_4$ containing CuO and $V_2O_5$(BN ceramics). BN ceramic with 0.07wt% $V_2O_5$ and 0.03wt% CuO (BNC3V7) was sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ where it is possible for these to be co-fired with Ag electrode. The dielectric constant of 44.3, TCF (Temperature Coefficient of resonance Frequency) of 2 ppm/$^{\circ}$ and Q${\times}f_o$ value (product of Quality value and resonance Frequency) of 22,000GHz could be obtained from those ceramics. It is observed that orthorhombic structure was stable $1000^{\circ}C$. As sintering temperature increases, the dielectric properties decreased. The main reasons were abnormal grain growth and the main peak of triclinic moved from the main peak of orthorhombic.

Low temperature sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of the $BiNbO_{4^-}$ and the $ZnNb_2O_{6^-}zinc$ borosilicate glass(ZBS) systems were investigated with a view to applying the composition to LTCC technology. The addition of $10{\sim}30$ wt% ZBS in both systems ensured successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. For the $BiNbO_{4^-}ZBS$ system, the sintering was completed when 15 wt% ZBS was added whereas 25 wt% ZBS was necessary for the $ZnNb_2O_{6^-}zinc$ system. Secondary phase was not observed in the $BiNbO_{4^-}ZBS$ system but a small amount of $ZnNb_2O_6$ with the willemite structure as the secondary phase was observed in the $ZnNb_2O_{6^-}ZBS$ system. In terms of dielectric properties, the application of the $BiNbO_{4^-}$ and the $ZnNb_2O_{6^-}ZBS$ systems sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ to LTCC were shown to be appropriate; $BiNbO_{4^-}15$ wt% ZBS($\varepsilon_r=25,\;Q{\times}f\;value=3,700GHz,\;\tau_f=-32ppm/^{\circ}C$) and $ZnNb_2O_{6^-}25$ wt% ZBS($\varepsilon_r=15.8,\;Q{\times}f\;value=5,400GHz,\;\tau_f=-98ppm/^{\circ}C$).

Low-temperature sintering and dielectric properties of the $1-xBiNbO_4-xZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics (x=0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) with 10 wt% zinc borosilicate (ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ with a view to applying this system to LTCC technology. The all composition addition of 10 wt% ZBS glass ensured a successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. The the amount of $ZnNb_2O_6$ on $ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics increased the $Q{\times}f$ values, but it decreased the sinterability and dielectric constant due to the higher $Q{\times}f$ value and sintering temperature of $ZnNb_2O_6$ than that of $ZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics. The increase of $ZnNb_2O_6$ content from 0.3 to 0.7 in the $1-xBiNbO_4-xZnNb_2O_6$ ceramics with 10 wt% ZBS glass sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 30~20 in the dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$), 3,500~4,500 GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value.

The microwave dielectric properties and the microstructures of $Tm_2O_3$-modified $BiNbO_4$ ceramics were investigated. $Bi_{(1-x)}Tm_xNbO_4$ ceramics combined with orthorhombic and triclinic phases were identified at sintering temperatures of $920{\sim}960^{\circ}C$. The apparent density decreased slightly with the increasing Tm content. Regardless of the Tm content the dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_r)$ of all compositions except x=0.1 in $Bi_{(1-x)}Tm_xNbO_4$ ceramics saturated at the range of 42~44. The $Q{\times}f_0$ values of 6,000-12,000(GHz) were obtained for all compositions when the sintering temperatures were in the range of $920{\sim}960^{\circ}C$. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency$(\tau_f)$ can be also adjusted with increasing the amount of the doped Tm from a positive value of $+15ppm/^{\circ}C$ to a negative value of $-20ppm/^{\circ}C$. The $Bi_{(1-x)}Tm_xNbO_4$ ceramics can be possibly applied to multilayer microwave devices with low processing temperatures.

We have investigated dielectric properties of low fired ceramics BiNbO$_{4}$ containing 0.05[wt%] V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ and x[wt%l Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2). By substituting Cr for Bi, dielectric constant .epsilon.$_{r}$ and quality factor Q.f increased and temperature coefficient of resonant frecquency .tau.$_{f}$ changed to positive value. In the composition of BiNbO$_{4}$+0.05 [Wt%] V$_{2}$O$_{5}$+0.8[wt%]Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$ sintered at 960[.deg. C], we could obtain microwave dielectric properties of .epsilon.$_{r}$=49, Q.f.simeq.3000[GHz](at 4.8[GHz]), .tau.$_{f}$.simeq.0[ppm/.deg. C]. As the above ceramics can be sintered near 960[.deg. C], it is applicable to multilayer microwave device with Ag conductor.tor.tor.tor.

We fabricated thick film monopole antennas using Mo-doped BiNbO$_4$ ceramics and investigated their electrical properties as a function of the Mo-doping concentration. Compared with undoped BiNbO$_4$ ceramics, 10 at.% Mo-doping improved microwave dielectric properties of ceramics by increased sintered density as well as decreased space charge density. Further increase in the Mo-doping concentration caused formation of Bi$_2$MoO$_{6}$ phases, resulting in deterioration of the microwave characteristics. The gain and bandwidth of the ceramic monopole antenna were also greatly affected by the Mo-doping concentration. When Mo-doping concentration was 10 at.%, highest gain of -0.7dBi with lowest bandwidth of 30% at 2.3GHz was obtained.

In this paper, in order to develop Pb-free piezoelectric ceramics, $(Li_{0.05}Na_{0.57}K_{0.38})NbO_3$ ceramic was fabricated with the variation of $Bi_2O_3$ addition. Piezoelectric properties of the ceramic were varied with the amount of $Bi_2O_3$ addition and showed the maximum kp value at.0.2 wt% $Bi_2O_3$ addition. Qm of $Bi_2O_3$ added ceramics showed lower values than the non-added ceramics, however, the kp was increased by the addition of $Bi_2O_3$ up to 0.2 wt%. At the sintering temperature of 1110$^{\circ}C$ and the calcination temperature of 850$^{\circ}C$, the optimal values of density=4.52g/$cm^3$, kp=0.47, $\varepsilon_r$=400 were obtained.

In this study, the microwave dielectric property variations of (1-x)$BiNbO_4-(x)ZnNb_2O_6$ composites (x=0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) with 10wt% zinc borosilicate(ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ with a view to applying thes system to LTCC technology. The all composition addition of 10wt% ZBS glass ensured a successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. In addition, a small amount of $Bi_2SiO_5$ as the secondary phase was observed in the all composition. The substitution of $ZnNb_2O_6$ on the $BiNbO_4$ composites increased the $Q{\times}f$ values, but it decreased the sinterability and dielectric constant due to the high sintering temperature and low dielectric constant of $ZnNb_2O_6\;than\;BiNbO_4$ ceramics. The increasing of $ZnNb_2O_6$ content from 0.3 to 0.7 in the (1-x)$BiNbO_4-(x)ZnNb_2O_6$ composites with 10wt% ZBS glass sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 28.1~15.6 in the dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}_r)$, 5,500~8,700GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value.

$BiNbO_4$ ceramics doped with 0.07wt% $V_2O_5$ and 0.03wt% CuO (BNC3V7) were sucessfully sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ through the firing process with Ag electrode. The BNC3V7 shows typically Dielectric constant of 44.3, Thermal Coefficient of resonance Frequency(TCF) of 2 ppm/$^{\circ} and $Qxf_o$ value of 22,000 GHz. The laminated chip Low Pass Filter (LPF) is very sensitive to chip processing parameters, was confirmed by the computer simulation as a function of Q(Quality factors), filter size, capacitor layer thickness, inductor pattern widths. The multilayer type LPF was fabricated by screen-printing with Ag electrode after tape casting and then compared with the simulated characteristics. The results show that characterization of band pass width was similar to that of designed ones.
