For low temperature co‐fired ceramic ( LTCC ) modules targeting radio frequency applications, a near 0 ppm/°C temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) ensures temperature stability of embedded filters. The base dielectrics of most commercial LTCC systems have a τ f in the range −50 to −80 ppm/°C. By integrating co‐fireable compensating dielectrics with an opposite τ f to that of the host dielectric, we demonstrated multilayer stripline ( SL ) bandpass filters with a τ f approaching 0 ppm/°C using D u P ont 951 LTCC . The effective dielectric constant of the SL in multilayer LTCC with dissimilar layered dielectrics was calculated using a variational method with transmission‐line technique.
