Using a conventional solid-state reaction, followed by sintering at 1080°C-1200°C Li 2 (Zn 1Àx A x )Ti 3 O 8 (A = Mg, Co and x = 0.02 -0.1) ceramic system with >96% density were prepared. The XRD patterns of the sintered samples revealed single-phase formation with a cubic crystal symmetry. The molecular volume shows good linear relationship with x value. The microwave dielectric properties of Li 2 (Zn 1Àx A x )Ti 3 O 8 ceramics exhibited a significant dependence on the x value and to some extent on the morphology of the specimens. The Li 2 (Zn 0.94 Mg 0.06 )Ti 3 O 8 ceramics possess e r = 26.1, Q 3 f = 150 000 GHz, and τ f = À13.9 ppm/°C, and Li 2 (Zn 0.92 Co 0.08 )Ti 3 O 8 ceramics show e r = 24.7, Q 3 f = 140 000 GHz, and τ f = À13.4 ppm/°C, respectively. It indicates a substantial increase in the Q 3 f in comparison with that of pure Li 2 ZnTi 3 O 8 . The microwave dielectric properties of these partially substituted ceramics are reported for the first time.
