Abstract
In order to solve the problem of signal delay, a novel low-K Ca3Cr2Ge3O12 ceramic for 5G and millimeter-wave communication was prepared by a solid-state reaction method. XRD and Rietveld refinement results confirm that it belongs to the garnet structure with the Ia-3d space group. The shrinkage rate of the sample sintered at 1350 °C reached 11.9 %, and the relative density exceeded 94.3 %. Excellent microwave dielectric properties were obtained. The permittivity was 8.38, the quality factor was 23,107 GHz, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was −43.57 ppm/°C. The relationship between the crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties of ceramics was further studied. The results show that lattice vibration, stacking fraction and bond strength have a great influence on the Q × f value of ceramics, and the bond valence parameter is the key factor affecting the temperature stability. In addition, the theoretical quality factor of the ceramic can reach ∼13,0000 GHz by far-infrared reflection spectroscopy, and the ceramic has great research potential. The development of Ca3Cr2Ge3O12 ceramics and the study of microwave dielectric properties have filled the research gap of related systems. The excellent microwave dielectric properties indicate that it can be used as an alternative material for the preparation of components in the field of communication.
