Summary: In this study, a series of BaMg2-xZnxV2O8 ceramics were successfully synthesized by ionic substitution. The relationship between surface morphology and microwave properties was analyzed, and it was found that the substitution of Mg2+ with Zn2+ can improve densification, lower sintering temperature, and reduce dielectric loss significantly. The BaMg1.98Zn0.02V2O8 ceramic exhibited excellent microwave dielectric properties at the optimum sintering temperature, making it suitable for low-temperature co-firing technology.

Summary: To address the problem of 5G signal attenuation, a novel Zn0.97Co0.03Mo0.92W0.08O4 ceramic material with excellent microwave dielectric properties was developed. An all-ceramic array patch was designed and demonstrated for 5G signal enhancement, effectively avoiding matching co-fire issues and compensating for signal loss in walls. The device improved the intensity of the 5G signal from 0.02 to 1.62 through the focusing effect.

Summary: This work introduces a wireless microfluidic sensor based on microwave reflection principle for liquid detection. The sensor consists of a slot antenna and a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonator integrated with a microchannel using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The structure of the sensor was optimized through electromagnetic simulation. Experimental results demonstrate the liquid sensing performance of the sensor using ethanol aqueous solution and glucose aqueous solution.

Summary: MnZn/NiZn ferrite laminated co-fired ceramics were prepared successfully via spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The interface between MnZn and NiZn ferrite layers in the co-fired ceramics showed no obvious diffusion due to the short sintering time and low temperature. The density and hardness of the co-fired samples increased with the increase of sintering temperature. MnZn/Bi2O3-modified NiZn ferrite laminated co-fired ceramic composites with high density, hardness, and good magnetic properties were prepared by SPS method.
