Abstract

Undoped and MnCO 3 doped (0.3, 0.5, 1, 2mol%) Ba 0.55 Sr 0.45TiO 3/MgO composites were prepared by conventional ceramic processing method and their structural, surface morphological, tunable properties and their dielectric properties at low and microwave frequencies were extensively investigated. The results indicate that the addition of MnCO 3 slightly decreases the average grain size. The proper doping of MnCO 3 can dramatically improve the properties of Ba 0.55Sr 0.45 TiO 3/MgO composite with lower dielectric loss and higher tunability. For 0.5mol% MnCO 3 doped samples, the microwave loss at 4.19 GHz is 2.91 × 10 -3 and the value of tunability is 7.4% with the external DC field 2 kV mm -1, which presented the best properties and can basically meet the requirements of phased array applications.
