Dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of ($Zr_{0.65}$, $Sn_{0.35}$) $Ti_{1.04}$ $O_{4.04}$ ceramics with additives, NiO as an agent to improve dielectric properties and $B_{2}$ $O_{3}$ as a firing agent were investigated. When 0.5 - 1.5 wt% of NiO is add, the grain growth is inhibited and the shape of the grain is uniformed, Dielectric constant(Fr) and bulk density are increased with raising amount of NiO at sintering temperature of 1330 - 1360.deg. C, but the temperature coefficient of resonant frquency(.epsilon.$_{r}$) decreased gradually as the NiO content increased. The value of Qx $f_{o}$ was increased as the amount of NiO was increased in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 wt% and the Qx $f_{o}$, was decreased slightly with raising sintering temperature. With NiO of 1.0 wt% and at sintering temperature of 1360.deg. C, this ceramics was found to have excellent microwave properties of .epsilon.$_{r}$=37.8, Qx $f_{o}$ = 48.600 and .tau.$_{f}$ = 7 ppm/.deg. C.C.. C.. C.C.. C.. C.
