Single-phase polycrystalline ceramics in the MO-La 2 O 3 -TiO 2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) system, such as cation-deficient hexagonal perovskites CaLa 4 Ti 4 O 1 5 , SrLa 4 Ti 4 O 1 5 , BaLa 4 Ti 4 O 1 5 , and Ca 2 La 4 Ti 5 O 1 8 and the orthorhombic phases CaLa 4 Ti 5 O 1 7 and CaLa 8 Ti 9 O 3 1 , were prepared through the solid-state ceramic route. The phases and structure of the ceramics were analyzed through x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied using a network analyzer. The investigated ceramics show high ∈ r in the range 42 to 54, high quality factors with Q xf in the range 16,222 to 50,215 GHz, and low τ f in the range -25 to +6 ppm/°C. These high dielectric constant materials with high Q xf up to 50,215 GHz are suitable for applications where narrow bandwidth and extremely low insertion loss is necessary, especially at frequencies around 1.9 GHz.
