| Popis: | Of the niobate ceramics with the formula M 2+ Nb 2 O 6 , several compounds (M 2+ =Zn, Mg, Ca and Co) have Qf values (at f =1–10 GHz) between 40 000 and 90 000 GHz, offering potential in dielectric resonator applications. However, their temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f ) values are too high for commercial development, at between −50 and −90 ppm. This paper details the doping of these materials with dielectric ceramics having a large positive τ f , in an attempt to reduce the overall τ f to zero, whilst maintaining a high quality factor ( Q ). It was also found that doping increased the relative permitivity ( e r ) of the niobates. Several materials have been made with near-zero τ f , such as 90% CoNb 2 O 6 /10% CaTiO 3 ( τ f =+2.0 ppm, e r =25.2 and Qf =21 700 GHz), and 94% CoNb 2 O 6 /6% TiO 2 ( τ f =+4.4 ppm, e r =29.6 and Qf =20 300 GHz) |
