Abstract
Novel multi-component (Bi1-xLax)VO4 (BLVOx) (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) solid-solution/composite ceramics crystal structures, phase compositions as well as its applications in the C-band dielectric resonator antenna have been designed and investigated. With the increased substitution of La3+, phase transitions among the monoclinic scheelite (mBiVO4), tetragonal zircon (zt(La,Bi)VO4) and monoclinic monazite (mLaVO4), driven by the compositional changes, were detected. La3+ played an essential role in the optimization of the dielectric properties of BLVOx. The measured Q × f values at the microwave band are considerably larger around the range of compositions forming the zircon phase and reached the maximum value (12,800 GHz) at pure zircon phase (x = 0.5), demonstrating that the impact of zircon structure on the intrinsic loss should not be disregarded and is beneficial for low dielectric loss. Meanwhile, the εr and TCF values could be tuned by regulating the concentration ratio of Bi3+/La3+ to obtain composites or solid-solutions with appropriate and near-zero TCF values. Additionally, a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) of BVLO0.5 ceramic was designed with high simulated radiation efficiency (99.8%) and gain (4.58 dBi) at the center frequency (6.73 GHz), indicating its potential application in C-band because of its tunable permittivity and low-loss.
