Abstract

Developing a material with a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCF) of zero is probably the most difficult aspect of research into microwave dielectric ceramics. There are a host of high-quality-factor (Q) high-relative-permittivity (ϵ_r) materials whose TCF is far too high to be usable, notably TiO₂(ϵ_r= 104; Q = 14000 at 3GHz: TCF = +427 ppm K⁻¹). The challenge is to find ways of tuning TCF while maintaining values of ϵ_rand Q suitable for use in microwave components. This paper explains, in terms of octahedral tilting and ϵ_rdilution, the tunability of TCF or, more precisely, the temperature coefficient of ϵ_rin Ca and Sr titanate-based ceramics. Examples of the structural changes that occur during tuning are also shown.
