Abstract: The effects of the preparing process and the doping ions on the phase composition of low firing (Zn0.8Sn0.2)TiO4
ceramics were studied. The experimental results indicatethat the phase composition of the ceramics is dependent on the calcining
temperature of ZST powder, and it will affect τf, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequencies. Higher calcining
temperature for the powders is favorable to increase the stability of α-PbO type ZST phase for decreasing the temperature coefficient.
It is more useful to restrain the separation of oxides by doping with Nb5+. Dielectric constant ε, temperature coefficient τf
and Q·f of the samples doped with 0.15mol% Nb5+ sintered at 920℃ are 25, --2.44 ppm/℃ and 4868(5GHz).
