“…Microwave dielectric ceramics for 5G applications need to have a low relative permittivity (e r ) for modulating signal delay, a high quality factor (Q Â f) to suppress signal attenuation, and a near-zero temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (t f ) to ensure device stability in high-temperature environments. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Microwave dielectric ceramics with a spinel structure (AB 2 O 4 ), such as MgAl 2 O 4 , [7][8][9] and Mg 2 TiO 4 , 10 have been reported to possess a relatively low e r and a high Q Â f. In order to overcome the high sintering temperature, t f is not close to zero for traditional spinels, so a large number of Li-containing spinels have been reported, such as Li 2 ATi 3 O 8 (A = Zn, Mg), 11,12 LiGa 5 O 8 , 13,14 Li 2 Zn 3 Ti 4 O 12 , 15 and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 . [16][17][18] Concerning the Li 2 O-AO-TiO 2 (A = Zn, Mg) systems, recent studies have focused on the characterization and microwave dielectric properties of two ordered ceramics of Li 2 ZnTi 3 O 8 (e r = 25.6-26.2, Q Â f = 62 000-72 000 GHz, and t f = À15 to À11.2 ppm per 1C) and Li 2 MgTi 3 O 8 (e r = 20.2, Q Â f = 42 000 GHz, and t f = +3.2 ppm per 1C), but the microwave dielectric properties of disordered spinel ceramics have rarely been reported.…”
