Abstract
Abstract A high-frequency dielectric ceramic compound having a perovskite-type crystal structure comprising a chemical composition substantially represented by the formula (Sr x Ca y Mn z )TiO 3 in which 0.98<x+y+z<1.02, 0.34<y<0.4, and 0.0075<z<0.0015, and possessing a non-linear temperature coefficient is set forth. A method is presented for utilizing the compound to formulate a high-frequency dielectric material, the formulated material being particularly suitable for providing filters and related applications with a relatively low resonant frequency temperature coefficient.
