The microwave dielectric properties and their related structural characteristics in solid solutions of (1-x) $Ba(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ -x $La(Mg_{2/3}Nb_{1/3})O_3$ (BLMN) have been investigated by measuring the dielectric constant${\varepsilon}r)$, Q value and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency$({\tau}f)$ and by observing the crystal structure using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Microwave dielectric properties showed characteristic features for specific composition. Dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}r)$ showed maximum value at the composition which corresponds to the phase boundary between 1:2 ordered and 1:1 ordered structure. The increase in ${\varepsilon}_r$ may be caused by the rattling of ions by incorporating smaller ions and the disordered structure. The variation of temperature coefficient of resonant frequency${{\tau}_f)$ was investigated in terms of oxygen octahedra tilting.

Effects of particle size, crystal structures and multilayer structures of $ATiO_3$, $ATa_2O_6$, $ANb_2O_6$, $AWO_4$, and $AMoO_4$ (A=Ni, Mg, Zn, Co) ceramic fillers on the dielectric properties of polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer matrices were investigated at microwave frequencies. The microwave dielectric properties of $ATiO_3$ (ilmenite), $ATa_2O_6$ (tri-rutile), $ANb_2O_6$ (columbite), AWO4 (wolframite), and AMoO4 (wolframite) ceramics were largely dependent on the structural characteristics of oxygen octahedra. The dielectric constant (K) of the composites was increased with the ceramic content. However, the dielectric loss (tan ${\delta}$) of the composites was affected by the type of ceramics and the crystallinity of polymers. For the composites with same amount of ceramics, the K was decreased and the tan ${\delta}$ was increased with the particle size of ceramics. Also, the dielectric properties of the composites were dependent on the multilayer structures with different arrangements. Several theoretical models have been employed to predict the effective dielectric properties of the composites. The frequency dependence of dielectric properties and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of the composites were also discussed.

For the aim of low-temperature co-fired ceramic microwave components, sintering behavior and microwave properties (dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$, quality factor Q, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ${\tau}_f$) are investigated in $Bi_{18}O(Ca_{0.725}Zn_{0.275})_8Nb_{12}O_{65}$ [BCZN] ceramics with addition of $V_2O_5$. The specimens are prepared by conventional ceramic processing technique. As the main result, it is demonstrated that the additives ($V_2O_5$) show the effect of lowering of sintering temperature and improvement of microwave properties at the optimum additive content. The addition of 0.25 wt% $V_2O_5$ lowers the sintering temperature to $890^{\circ}C$ utilizing liquidphase sintering and show the microwave dielectric properties (dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$ = 75, quality factor $Q{\times}f$ = 572 GHz, temperature coefficient of resonance frequency ${\tau}_f\;=\;-10\;ppm/^{\circ}C$). The estimated microwave dielectric properties with $V_2O_5$ addition (increase of ${\varepsilon}_r$, decrease of $Q{\times}f$, shift of ${\tau}_f$ to negative values) can be explained by the observed microstrucure (sintered density, abnormal grain structure) and possibly high-permittivity $Bi_{18}Zn_8Nb_{12}O_{65}$ (BZN) phase determined by X-ray diffraction.

We study on the transient response in non-uniform microstrip lines with optically controlled microwave pulses. The transient response of the microwave pulses in plasma layer has been evaluated by reflection function of dielectric microstrip lines. The variation of characteristic response in plasma layer with localized pulses has been evaluated analytically. Reflection the change of the reflection amplitude has been observed.

The effects of an amphiphilic agent and the orientation of BN on the microwave dielectric properties of BN / polyvinyl butyral (PVB) composites were investigated as a function of the BN content in volume fractions from 0.1 to 0.5 ($V_f$). The plate-shaped BN samples were oriented in the PVB matrix by physical processes, in this case tape casting and laminate methods. With an increase in the BN content, the dielectric constant (K) increased because the K of BN was higher than that of the PVB. At the same BN content, composites with an in-plane orientation of the BN showed a higher dielectric constant than that of composites with a transverse orientation of the BN because the ceramics were oriented parallel to the electric field. All of the composites showed nearly constant K values ranging from 1 to 9.4 GHz, indicating good frequency stability over a wide frequency range. At the same frequency, the K values of the composites increased with an increase in the BN content.

There are fast growing demands for new dielectric materials for passive capacitors of RF-ICs and other wireless applications. One of the bulk microwave dielectric materials which have superior properties is $ZrTiO_4$ due to its large dielectric constant and high quality factor. Therefore, $ZrTiO_4$ is worth studying as a form of thin film to be applied for passive capacitors of integrated circuits. In this study, we fabricated metal-insulator-metal type capacitors with $ZrTiO_4$ dielectric thin film, and evaluated their capacitor properties.

In this paper, We described the effect of $MoO_3$ Addition and firing temperature on the microwave dielectric properties of $BiNb0_4$ ceramics. The specimens prepared by conventional mixed method was addicted by 0 - 0.03 wt% $MoO_3$ and fired at 860 - $950^{\circ}$ for 3hr. Density increased when $MoO_3$ is below O.Olwt% but decreased when over O.Olwt%. $BiNb0_4$ ceramics addicted with CuO 0.03wt % and $MoO_3$ 0.01 wt% showed microwave dielectric properties, Dielectric constant 37.5, Quality factor[Qx$f_0$]5500, Temperature coefficient of resonance frequency 15ppm/$^{\circ}$

The microwave dielectric properties of CuO and CdO addition of BiNbO$_4$ceramics were investigated. As the content of CdO increased, sintered density and quality factor is decreased. With increase in sintering temperature, the dielectric constant and quality factor is increased. In case of specimen sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$ with 0.03 wt% CuO and CdO, the microwave dielectric properties obtained were dielectric constant of 41.2, quality factor (Q$\times$f) of 6, 500, temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

Effects of ceramics on the microwave dielectric properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites filled with $MgTiO_3$ (MTi) and/or $MgTa_2O_6$ (MTa) were investigated. The dielectric constant ($K$), quality factor ($Qf$), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($TCF$) of the composites were dependent on the type and volume fraction ($V_f$) of the ceramics. For the composites mixed with MTa and MTi, the $K$ and $TCF$ values decreased with increasing MTi content. The $Qf$ values of the composites were affected by relative density. The measured $K$ values of the composites were compared with those predicted by several theoretical models. Good microwave dielectric properties with values of $K$=3.6, $Qf$ = 7,788 GHz, and $TCF$ = -0.19 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were obtained for the composites with 0.1 $V_f$ ceramics (mixed 0.025MTa and 0.075MTi).

The microwave dielectric properties of $LiNb_3O_8-TiO_2$ based ceramics with low firing agents, CuO, $Bi_2O_3$, $B_2O_3$, $SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, were investigated to improve the sintering condition for the LTCC system. According to the X-ray diffraction and SEM, the ceramics of $LiNb_3O_8-TiO_2$ with low firing agents showed no significant second phases within a range of experiments, and fine microstructures. By adding the low firing agents, the sintering temperature decreased from $1200^{\circ}C$ to $925^{\circ}C$. Based on the results of electrical measurements, the $LiNb_3O_8-TiO_2$ ceramics showed a promising microwave dielectric properties for LTCC applications, those are ${\varepsilon}_r$ (dielectric constant) = 44, Q f (quality factor) = 18000, and ${\tau}_f$ (the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency) = $-1.5\;ppm/^{\circ}C$.
