Ca5-xZnxNb4TiO17ceramics with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4 were prepared through a solid-state reaction method. Effects of zinc substitution on sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of Ca5Nb4TiO17ceramics were investigated. The sintering temperature was significantly lowered from 1480°C for pure Ca5Nb4TiO17to 1260°C for x = 0.4. The microwave dielectric properties are strongly correlated with the composition. It is worth noting that the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) displays a tendency toward positive value, ranging from −126.4 ppm/°C to −8.6 ppm/°C. A temperature stable microwave ceramic with dielectric constant of 52 and Q × f value of 9937 GHz is achieved at x = 0.4 and is a potential candidate for application as cores in dielectrically loaded antennas.
