ABSTRACTThe use of microwave frequency radiation as an alternative energy source for processing materials is currently receiving considerable worldwide attention. The ability of a material to extract energy from the microwave field depends upon its dielectric properties, however these change as the material heats. There is, therefore, a need for obtaining measurements of the microwave dielectric properties at elevated temperatures. This paper outlines some of the current work on high temperature dielectric measurements which is in progress at the University of Nottingham as part of the Materials and Microwave Processing Group initiative and some results on engineering ceramics are presented.

MnCO3 was added into ZnNb2O6 ceramics to obtain excellent microwave dielectric properties. The samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. The effects of the amount of MnCO3 on sintering temperatures, ceramic densities and contraction were systematically investigated. The crystalline structure of ceramic body was analyzed by XRD. The ceramic microstructure was observed by SEM. The dielectric properties of ZnNb2O6 ceramics were measured by a vector network analyzer at microwave frequency, which showed: er = 22.65, Q×f = 36700 GHz (loaded value) and tf = -40 ppm/°C.

Microwave play important role in the moisture detection of soil plant and other agricultural product. In present paper the study of effect of ammonium sulphate on microwave dielectric properties of soil is presented. For this three soil samples were collected from different geographical region of Maharashtra. The infinite sample method was employed for the determination of storage factor (ε’) and loss factor (ε”) of the soils. In this paper the effect of ammonium sulphate on dielectric properties of soil when X and J-band microwave frequencies incident on it is discussed. The variation in values of dielectric properties of these soil samples mixed with different chemical contents are then measured at frequency 6 GHz and 9.86 GHz. The concentrations of this chemical in the soil samples are increased from 0 to 12 % and results are presented.

The rock-salt structure Li2MgTiO4 ceramics were prepared by reaction sintering method and its microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure and microstructure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. XRD showed that main phase Li2MgTiO4 combined with minor second phase Mg2TiO4 were formed after 1250-1350 oC sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of Li2MgTiO4 ceramics exhibited a significant depend on the density and to some extent on the morphology of the grains. Li2MgTiO4 sintered at 1325 oC/5h exhibits microwave dielectric properties of εr=13.2, Q×f=44 711 GHz (at 9.9 GHz ) and τf=-31ppm/oC.

(1-x) Ca2/5Sm2/5TiO3-x Li1/2Nd1/2TiO3 (CSLNT) ceramics, suitable for use in resonators or filters at microwave frequency, have a high εr and a low temperature coefficient of resonant frequency. The effects of calcinations on the microwave dielectric properties of CSLNT were studied. The CSLNT (x = 0.3) ceramics sintered at 1300oC for 3 h showed microwave properties with εr of 92, Qf of 5060 GHz and τf of 7.5 ppm/oC. The microwave dielectric properties of CSLNT (x = 0.3) ceramics were also improved by soft chemistry methods such as citric acid gel route and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelating method. The excellent microwave properties with εr = 96, Qf = 6290 GHz and τf = 6 ppm/oC were obtained by EDTA chelating method for CSLNT (x = 0.3) ceramics.

Single phase Li2W2O7 with anorthic structure was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method at 550[Formula: see text]C and the anorthic structure was stable up to 660[Formula: see text]C. The dielectric properties at radio frequency (RF) and microwave frequency range were characterized. The sample sintered at 640[Formula: see text]C exhibited the optimum microwave dielectric properties with a relative permittivity of 12.2, a quality factor value of 17,700[Formula: see text]GHz (at 9.8[Formula: see text]GHz), and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency of [Formula: see text]232[Formula: see text]ppm/[Formula: see text]C as well as a high relative density [Formula: see text]94.1%. Chemical compatibility measurement indicated Li2W2O7 did not react with aluminum electrodes when sintered at 640[Formula: see text]C for 4[Formula: see text]h.

The desirable characteristics of Ba 6-3x Nd 8+2x Ti 18 O 54 include high dielectric constant, low loss tangent, and high quality factor developed a new field for electronic applications. The microwave dielectric properties of Ba 6-3x Nd 8+2x Ti 18 O 54, with x = 0.15 ceramics at different sintering temperatures (600–1300°C) were investigated. The phenomenon of polarization produced by the applied electric field was studied. The dielectric properties with respect to frequency from 1 MHz to 1.5 GHz were measured using Impedance Analyzer, and the results were compared and analyzed. The highest dielectric permittivity and lowest loss factor were defined among the samples. The complex dielectric modulus was evaluated from the measured parameters of dielectric measurement in the same frequency range, and used to differentiate the contribution of grain and grain boundary.
