With the emergence of 5G–6G communication technology, the miniaturization and integration of electronic components are crucial. Ba 3 Ti 4 Nb 4 O 21 (BTN) ceramics with hexagonal structures have attracted special attention due to their high dielectric constant, which shows greater application potential in communication base stations and dielectric resonators. However, its high sintering temperature and low-quality factors also greatly limit the application field. In this paper, boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) as a dopant, was used to investigate the influence on the structure, microstructure, Raman spectrum, and microwave properties for Ba 2.92 Cu 0.08 (Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 2 Ti 2 Nb 4 O 21 (BCZTN)- x HB (0.25≤ x ≤1.25 wt%) ceramics. The results reflected that H 3 BO 3 was an effective additive, which could promote ceramic densification, accelerate grain growth and uniform distribution, and enhance its microwave performance. Among them, high densification was 93.92 ± 0.35%, and the Q × f value ∼16981 ± 340 GHz at x = 0.75, was more than 2∼3 times higher than other BTN-based ceramics. Superior microwave dielectric properties were achieved for 0.75 wt% H 3 BO 3 -doped BCZTN ceramic sintered at 900°C: ε r ∼42.35 ± 0.48, Q× f ∼16981 ± 340 GHz, and τ f ∼40.02 ± 1.43 ppm/°C. More encouragingly, BCZTN-0.75HB ceramic did not chemically react with Ag, which suggested that it had the potential to be a candidate material for low-temperature co-fired ceramics base station communication devices.

Garnet-typed ceramics of Y 3 Mg 1- x Mn x Al 3 SiO 12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) have been synthesized using the traditional solid-state reaction method. The optimal microwave dielectric properties ( ε r = 10.73, Q׃ = 62,824 GHz, τ f = −34.8 ppm/°C) are obtained for Y 3 Mg 0.9 Mn 0.1 Al 3 SiO 12 ( x = 0.1) sintered at 1575 °C for 5h. A millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antenna is designed and fabricated using Y 3 Mg 0.9 Mn 0.1 Al 3 SiO 12 as a dielectric unit due to its excellent characteristics of low dielectric constant and high Q׃ . The designed DRA resonates at 24.94 GHz with a bandwidth ∼2.20 GHz (S 11 < −10 dB). The simulated gain and efficiency are 6.64 dBi and 91.08%, respectively. The results indicate that the Y 3 Mg 0.9 Mn 0.1 Al 3 SiO 12 ceramic has a potential application as an antenna for the 5G/6G millimeter wave frequency band.

New ultra-low loss, temperature-stable composite ceramics, (1- x ) Mg 1.99 Ga 0.01 Si 0.99 Al 0.01 O 4 - x CaTiO 3 , have been developed with a view to expanding the portfolio of low-cost, MW dielectrics available for 5 G/6 G telecommunications, currently dominated by 95 wt%MgTiO 3 -5 wt%CaTiO 3 , (Mg,Ca)TiO 3 (relative permittivity, ε r ∼ 21, quality factor, Q × f ∼ 56,000 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency, τ f ∼ 0 ppm/°C). Compared with (Mg,Ca)TiO 3 , 89 wt%Mg 1.99 Ga 0.01 Si 0.99 Al 0.01 O 4 -11 wt%CaTiO 3 ceramics are also temperature stable ( τ f = −2.72 ppm/°C) but have lower ε r (∼8.55) and a higher Q × f (∼ 72,900 GHz @ 12 GHz and 80,900 GHz @ 26 GHz), better suited to the higher frequencies earmarked for 6 G millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. To demonstrate its potential for 5 G/6 G telecommunications, a waveguide filter with novel negative coupling structure was fabricated based on simulated results. The filter had low insertion loss (0.43 dB) at the center frequency (4.8 GHz) and high selectivity with a roll-off rate of 576/375 dB/GHz. The S-parameters matched well at 25 °C and 85 °C, demonstrating that the filter had excellent temperature stability and was therefore suitable for future 5 G/6 G microwave and mm-wave communication devices.

(1- x )MgAl 2 O 4 - x MgTa 2 O 6 composite ceramics based on the MgO-Al 2 O 3 -Ta 2 O 5 pseudoternary phase diagram were prepared by the solid-state reaction. MgAl 2 O 4 and MgTa 2 O 6 could coexist due to their different crystal structures. MgAl 2 O 4 inhibited the rapid growth of MgTa 2 O 6 grains, and dense microstructures ( ρ > 95%) with a uniform grain size distribution was obtained, with an optimal densification temperature of 1550 - 1575 °C. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f ) and quality factor ( Q × f ) were optimized by introducing MgTa 2 O 6 phases with low dielectric loss and positive τ f . In addition, the partial solid solutions of Al 3+ into Ta 5+ sites resulted in loosening bonds within [Al/TaO 6 ] octahedra and abnormally large polarizabilities, which was confirmed by the decrease in V Ta-O and the redshift of A 1 g (Ta-O) mode. Consequently, the relative permittivity ( ε r ) and τ f values o f MgAl 2 O 4 -MgTa 2 O 6 composite ceramics were further enhanced, exceeding the predicted ones. The 0.6MgAl 2 O 4 -0.4MgTa 2 O 6 composition sintered at 1550 °C achieved excellent performance, with a near-zero τ f value of 3.3 ± 1.7 ppm/°C, a low ε r of 16.4 ± 0.3 and an ultra-high Q × f of 179,000 ± 6700 GHz @ 8.94 ± 0.04 GHz. These findings hold promising applications in the field of 5 G/6 G high-frequency communication.

Gillespite-type SrCu 0.95 B 0.05 (B 2+ :Cu,Co,Mn,Ni,Mg,Zn)Si 4 O 10 (SCBS) ceramics were prepared by high-temperature solid-state method. Their microwave dielectric properties and crystal structure evolution were studied by P–V-L theory, bond valence model, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Varying B 2+ ion changed ionic polarizability and bond ionicity, causing dielectric constant ε r of SCBS to change. The change in quality factor Q × f was explained by lattice energy, oxidation state of Cu, and internal strain/fluctuation. The temperature coefficient of resonator frequency τ f was regulated by B–O bond length and valence. The optimal microwave dielectric properties were exhibited by SrCu 0.95 Mn 0.05 Si 4 O 10 after sintering at 1050 °C: ε r ∼5.8 ± 0.03, Q × f ∼65,589 ± 2611 GHz (@15.8 GHz), and τ f ∼ -50 ± 4 ppm/°C. These materials show great potential application prospects for 5G/6G wireless communication.

Alumina (Al₂O₃) is a promising candidate for microwave dielectric ceramics due to its exceptional quality factor (Qf ~ 333,000 GHz). This study investigates the influence of additions of titania (TiO₂) and annealing treatments on the dielectric properties of polycrystalline Al₂O₃. The dielectric properties of Al₂O₃-x wt% TiO₂ (x = 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10) were evaluated after various heat treatment conditions. The optimal composition, Al₂O₃-7.5 wt% TiO₂, achieved notable properties when sintered at 1400 °C for 8 h: a relative permittivity (ε r ) of 10.73 and a quality factor-frequency product (Qf) of 126,347 GHz at 13.814 GHz. Specifically, subsequent annealing at 1000 °C for 5 h adjusted the temperature coefficient of frequency ( \(\:{\tau}_{f}\) ) to + 1.25 ppm/°C, near zero. The study reveals that the thermal treatment induces the decomposition of Al₂TiO₅ into Al₂O₃ and TiO₂, accompanied by titanium redistribution. Characterization using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and dielectric measurements established correlations between the microstructure and properties. This work provides a scalable framework for designing ultra-stable millimeter-wave ceramics, particularly for 5G/6G resonators and satellite communication systems, where minimal signal delay and thermal drift are critical.
