The phase assemblages, microstructures and element composition were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. Microwave dielectric properties were measured with a network analyzer. It was found that Li2TiO3 and Li2WO4 coexisted after sintering at 950°C/2h. Both εr and τf of the composite ceramics decreased linearly with the increase of Li2WO4 phase. The optimized Q′f value increased with increasing Li2WO4 content and reached a maximum value of about 80000 GHz at x=0.1-0.15. Further increase in x remarkably decreased the Q′f value. The x=0.15 composition sintered at 950 oC possesses excellent combined microwave properties with εr =18.1, Q′f = 81,099 GHz and τf=2.2 ppm/ oC. The chemical compatibility between the composite and Ag has also been investigated. It indicates that Ag diffused into the Li2WO4 phase and formed an unknown phase at 900°C/2h, although isolated Ag still existed in the cofired specimen.

Extensive solid solutions can occur between Li2TiO3 and Mg(Zn)O or Li3NbO4 [1-3]. Both of the ordering degree and the temperature of the order-disorder transition decrease with the increase of MgO or Li3NbO4 content [1, 3]. However high porosity remains in the pure or doped Li2TiO3 cer
