Abstract

Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 microwave dielectric ceramics with different contents of CuO sintering additive were prepared by conventional high-temperature solid state method, and the effects of CuO additive on the sintering, structure and microwave dielectric properties of Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics were studied. The results show that the densification of Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 grains could be improved and a reduction of sintering temperature (about 200°C) obtained by adding CuO into Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics. At 1350°C for 4 h, Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics with 1.5%(ω) CuO addition possess good microwave dielectric properties, relative dielectric constant εr 23.98, product quality and frequency Q×f 27754.5 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf -2.7×10-6°C-1.
