  • Abstract
    Aluminium oxide displays a very low tanδ at microwave frequencies. It also possesses a remarkably high thermal conductivity, ideal for heat dissipation in high power satellite filters. However, its temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) is approximately 60 ppm/K. It is shown that the application of a film of titanium oxide which has a Tf of opposite sign (45O ppm/K) produces a composite in which the τf can be tuned to be zero over a wide temperature range. The tanδ of the composite at zero Tf is 3.3×105 (Q=30000) at room temperature and at 10 GHz
