Abstract
Abstract A dielectric ceramic body prepared by firing a mixture of a cordierite glass powder and a TiO 2 powder, or a mixture of these powders and a RE 2 Ti 2 O 7 powder (RE representing a rare earth element), wherein particles of the Ti 2 powder or particles of Ti 2 powder and the RE 2 Ti 2 O 7 powder are dispersed in a matrix phase of crystalline cordierite produced from the fired cordierite glass powder. In the first case, the cordierite glass powder and the Ti 2 powder have a proportion which satisfies 70≦x<100. 0<y≦30, and x+y=100, where x and y represent contents in weight % of the cordierite glass powder and said TiO 2 powder, respectively. In the second case, the cordierite glass powder, TiO 2 powder and the RE 2 Ti 2 O 7 powder have a proportion which satisfies 50≦x<100, 0<y≦30, 0<z≦40, and x+y=100, where z represents a content in weight % of the RE 2 Ti 2 O 7 powder.
