Abstract
The microstructure of the cubic perovskite Ba{(Mg, Co)1/3Nb2/3}O3-based dielectric has been investigated. The secondary phase was determined to be Ba5Nb4O15; this phase was detrimental to the microwave properties of Ba{(Mg, Co)1/3Nb2/3}O3. Eliminating the secondary phase, the precise control of A-site/B-site ratio of the perovskite and long time annealing improved the microwave characteristics.
