Tungsten doped Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92 ceramics designed as radio/microwave band pass/reject filters

Abstract

Herein, radiowave/microwave bandpass/reject filters are fabricated from the tungsten doped Bi1.5Zn0.92Nb1.5‐6x/5WxO6.92 (W‐BZN) pyrochlore ceramics. The W‐BZN band filters are prepared by the solid state reaction technique and subjected to X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and impedance spectroscopy analyses. It was shown that the W‐BZN filters can display negative capacitance effects accompanied with resonance‐antiresonance oscillations. The calculations of the reflection coefficient parameter (S11), the return loss (Lr) and the voltage standing wave ratios (VSWR) in the frequency domain of 0.01 to 1.80 GHz, has shown that the W‐BZN device can perform as microwave cavities at two notch frequency values of 0.44 and 1.53 GHz. W‐BZN devices can also be nominated as noise reducers and radiowave/microwave signal receivers suitable for telecommunication technology.
