3 ceramics were prepared by conventional and microwave sintering techniques and their sinterability, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties were investigated in detail for comparison. Densified Ca

0.2667TiO
3 ceramics were obtained by microwave sintering at 1350℃ for 30 min and by conventional sintering at 1450℃ for 4 h. An unusual phenomenon was found that some larger grains (grain size range:8-10 μm) inclined to assemble in one area but some smaller ones (grain size range:2-4 μm) inclined to gather in another area in the microwave sintered ceramics. The microwave dielectric properties of Ca

3 ceramics prepared by microwave sintering at 1350℃ were as follows:dielectric constant (
ɛr)=119.6, quality factor (
Qf)=17858.5 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (
τf)=155.5 ppm/℃. In contrast, the microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics prepared by conventional sintering at 1450℃ were
ɛr=117.4,
Qf=13375 GHz, and
τf=217.2 ppm/℃.
