Abstract
Here, Ba3Ti3.91(Ni1/3Nb2/3)0.09Nb4O21 + Li2CO3-B2O3-SiO2-CaO-Al2O3 (BTN-NN + xwt%LBSCA, x = 0.25–1.25) ceramics are synthesized via the solid-phase method. The LBSCA glass successfully reduces the sintering temperature of the BTN-NN ceramic from 1250°C to below 960°C. The microwave dielectric properties are enhanced to εr = 51.9, Q×f =13092 GHz, and τf = +18.6 ppm/°C, respectively. The well-matched cofiring properties between the BTN-NN+xwt%LBSCA (x = 1.00) ceramic and Ag pastes are revealed. Based on this ceramic and silver, a frequency-controlled beam device (@5 mm × 5 mm × 1.28 mm) in the X-band is designed. This device can control the intensity and beam direction with frequency as the independent variable, and has a beam scanning space of 4.1° in the frequency range of 10.55–10.80 GHz while maintaining high reflectivity (≥ 0.5). This function is verified by far-field amplitude and phase. This work broadens the scope of application of microwave dielectric ceramics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
