Ceramic ferroelectric composite material - BSTO-MgO

Abstract

A novel ceramic ferroelectric material having a low dielectric constant, extremely low loss and high tunability. The material is a composite comprising Barium Strontium Titanate (BSTO) and a ceramic material having a low dielectric constant. The preferred composite is represented by Ba.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x TiO.sub.3 --MgO, wherein x is greater than 0.00, but less than or equal to 0.75, and wherein the percent weight ratio between Ba.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x TiO.sub.3 and MgO ranges from approximately 99%-40% and 1%-60%, respectively. The novel materials possess superior electronic properties; and they may be employed in various antenna systems at both microwave and millimeter wave range frequencies.
