Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a ceramic composition which gives a microwave dielectric having a permittivity and unloaded Q in a practical range and a small temperature coefficient (τf) in the neighborhood of zero of resonance frequency owing to the controlled amount of ZnO and Ta 2 O 5 added. The τf value may be positive or negative in the neighborhood of zero according to need. The ceramic composition comprises a principal component represented by (BaO-3.7TiO 2 ).xZnO, where x is in the range of 15≦x≦17 wt % and a secondary component containing 2-6 wt % Ta 2 O 5 and not more than 1 wt % MnO 2 based on the amount of the principal component. The ceramic composition may also contain BaO-3.8TiO 2 , 12-16 wt % ZnO, and 2-6 wt % Ta 2 O 5 , or contain BaO-3.6TiO 2 , 17-19 wt % ZnO, and 2-6 wt % Ta 2 O 5 .
