Abstract

We fabricated thick film monopole antennas using Mo-doped $BiNbO_{4}$ ceramics and investigated their electrical properties as a function of the Mo-doping concentration. Compared with undoped $BiNbO_{4}$ ceramics, 10 at.% Mo-doping improved microwave dielectric properties of ceramics by increased sintered density as well as decreased space charge density. Further increase in the Mo-doping concentration caused formation of $Bi_{2}MoO_{6}$ phases, resulting in deterioration of the microwave characteristics. The gain and bandwidth of the ceramic monopole antenna were also greatly affected by the Mo-doping concentration. When Mo-doping concentration was 10 at%, highest gain of ~0.7dBi with lowest bandwidth of 30% at 2.3GHz was obtained.
