A new family of pyrochlore‐type oxides in the Ca–Y–Ti–Nb–O system has been prepared by the conventional solid‐state route. These compounds have a dielectric constant ( K ) in the range 27–92 and, further, the dielectric properties are found to be independent of frequency in the 100 Hz to 1 MHz range for all the compositions in the temperature range 30°–100°C. Their temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant is negative and in the range −80 to −612 ppm/°C. Rietveld analysis of the X‐ray diffraction data establishes a cubic pyrochlore‐type phase in the space group Fd3m (no. 227). A variation in the stoichiometry of the cations in the system does not change the pyrochlore‐type structure.
