The microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of a (1− x)ZnAl2O4– xTiO2 ceramic system prepared by the mixed oxide route have been investigated. The phases of ZnAl2O4 and TiO2 co-exist with each other and form a two-phase system, which is confirmed by the X-ray diffraction patterns and the energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer analysis. The microwave dielectric properties of the specimens are strongly related to the sintering temperature, the density, and the mole ratio of ZnAl2O4/TiO2. The sintering temperature of the specimen can be effectively lowered by increasing the TiO2 content. The Qu× f values of the ceramics can be significantly boosted by adding an appropriate amount of TiO2 and by sintering at a suitable temperature. Consequently, a very high Qu× f of 277 000 GHz associated with an ℇr of 25.2 and a large resonant frequency (τf) of 177 ppm/°C are obtained using 0.5ZnAl2O4–0.5TiO2 ceramics at 1390°C/4 h. These unique properties can be utilized as a τf compensator for dielectrics that would require extremely low loss. The MgTiO3 and Mg4Nb2O9 having negative τf were mixed with 0.5ZnAl2O4–0.5TiO2 ceramics to achieve dielectrics with a low ℇr, a high Qu× f, and a nearly-zero τf. In addition, a circle dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the proposed dielectric to study its performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
