摘要:
The production of low-loss, tunable composite ceramic materials with improved breakdown strengths is disclosed. The composite materials comprise ferroelectric perovskites such as barium strontium titanate or other ferroelectric perovskites combined with other phases such as low-loss silicate materials and/or other low-loss oxides. The composite materials are produced in sheet or tape form by methods such as tape casting. The composite tapes exhibit favorable tunability, low loss and tailorable dielectric properties, and can be used in various microwave devices.

摘要:
A multi-layer Ferroelectric composite wave guide in which the effective dielectric constant of the waveguide can be reduced while maintaining tunability. The waveguide is constructed of high and low dielectric constant layers. The multi-layer waveguide is comprised of bias plates which are perpendicular to the laminate direction on direction of film deposition to maintain tunability in the structure.

A novel ceramic ferroelectric material having a high dielectric constant, aow loss tangent, a low threshold voltage, a high nonlinear voltage exponent and a high tunability. The material is a composite comprising Barium Strontium Titanate (BSTO) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The preferred composite is represented by Ba.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x TiO.sub.3 --ZnO, wherein x is greater than 0.00, but less than or equal to 0.75, and wherein the percent weight ratio between BSTO and ZnO ranges from approximately 99%-50% and 1%-50% respectively. The novel materials possess superior electronic properties, and they may be employed in multilayer capacitors, capacitor-varistors, non-volatile computer memory or phased array antenna systems.
