Ca Cu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramics has been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method under different sintering conditions. Dielectric properties have been investigated in the temperature range of 25–350°C within the frequency range of 40Hz–10MHz. It has been found that both the dielectric constants and the grain sizes increase with the sintering time. A relaxation has been observed in the frequency range of 100Hz–100kHz, apart from the one already known in the frequency range higher than 100kHz. High-temperature dielectric dispersion shows one large low-frequency response and two Debye-type relaxations. Activation energy values of these two relaxations are 0.084 and 0.678eV, respectively. An equivalent circuit model is suggested, which well explains the dielectric dispersion.
