Abstract
In pursuit of the objective of implementing fifth-generation communication technology, a LiMg2P3O10 microwave dielectric ceramic was developed in this study, and an ultra-wideband dielectric resonant antenna was fabricated. Rietveld refinement confirmed that the monoclinic crystal structure of LiMg2P3O10 ceramics is constituted of MgO6 octahedral chains and shared angle PO4 tetrahedra. The impact of chemical bond characteristics on properties was explored through P-V-L theory. The primary contributions to the intrinsic properties were investigated through infrared spectroscopy. The LiMg2P3O10 ceramics sintered at 830 °C were found to have the best microwave dielectric properties (εr = 6.16, Q × f = 33,573 GHz (at 15.538 GHz), and τf = −35.6 ppm/°C). A novel ultra-wideband dielectric resonant antenna with 53.7 % relative bandwidth, 6.53 dBi maximum gain and 81.7 % radiation efficiency was designed and fabricated. Its wide ultra-wideband characteristics makes it suitable for signal transmission in modern wireless communication systems.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
