In this study, helical antenna with microwave ZST ceramics was designed using finite element method and developed. Studied parameters are relative dielectric constant of the dielectric core and the width of the conduction metal band of the antenna. As shown in the results, the center frequency of the antenna was decreased as the dielectric constant increased. Also beam width of the antenna increased as both the dielectric constant and the conduction band width increased. Based on the designed optimal shape, the manufactured antenna has the good beam width at center frequency 1.58 GHz.

The effects of NiO addition on the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of ($Zr_{08}Sn_{02}$)$TiO_4$ (ZST) were investigated. With the NiO addition, a higher density of ZST ceramics than 95% of the theoretical values has been obtained in the sintering temperature range of 1400 to 150$0^{\circ}C$. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analysis of sintered specimen shows the presence of second phase at grain boundaries, which is considered to be $NiTiO_3$. Dielectric constant of the specimen is found to increase linearly with density. Q-values and TC$_r$ decrease with increasing NiO content. The variation of dielectric properties with NiO content is discussed in terms of the second phase. The ZST ceramics with 0.25 wt% NiO showed ${\varepsilon}_{\gamma}$=38, Q=7000 at GHz and TC$\gamma$=-0.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, comparable with the values obtained by the previous investigations.
