Effects of $TiO_{2}$ Addition on the Microwave Dielectric Properties of ($Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x})ZrO_{3}$ Ceramics

($Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x})ZrO_{3}$ 세라믹스의 고주파 유전특성에 미치는 $TiO_{2}$의 영향

We have investigated microwave dielectric properties of TiO$_{2}$ added (Pb$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$)ZrO$_{3}$ Ceramics with x=0.33, 0.35, and 0.37 sintered at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. For additions of up to 3wt% of TiO$_{2}$ in (Pb$_{0.63}$ Ca$_{0.37}$)ZrO$_{3}$ (x=0.37), TiO$_{2}$ was completely soluble in (Pb, Ca)ZrO3 phase and did not affect the grain size of ceramics. Dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency increased due to the formation of solid solution, whereas Q value decreased linearly as TiO$_{2}$ increased up to 1 wt%. However, the dielectric loss was very high as TiO$_{2}$ exceeded 2 wt%. It was also shown that as Ca ion content in 0.5 wt% TiO$_{2}$ added (Pb$_{1-x}$,Ca$_{x}$)ZrO$_{3}$ decreased from x=0.37 to x=0.33, dielectric constant increased and Q value decreased.
