  • Patent number: 6881694
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave dielectric ceramic composition exhibiting excellent dielectric characteristics, including high Qu; and to a dielectric resonator which exhibits high Qu even when of large size. The present invention provides a microwave dielectric ceramic composition containing a primary component represented by CaTiO3-(1-x)REAlO3 [0.54?x?0.82] (wherein RE is composed only of an essential element La or composed of an essential element La and one or two optional elements selected from among Nd and Sm). The present invention also provides a microwave dielectric ceramic composition containing a primary component represented by the compositional formula: xCaTiO3-(1-x)LnAlO3 [0.54?x?0.82] (wherein Ln is at least one species selected from among Y, La, Nd, Sm, etc.); and Na in an amount as reduced to Na2O of 0.02 to 0.5 parts by mass on the basis of 100 parts by mass of the primary component.
