There is provided a process of preparing low-temperature sintered
microwave dielectric ceramics, prepared by a process comprising
co-precipitating Nb and Bi or Zn in an aqueous basic solution to obtain a
BiNbO.sub.4 or Zn.sub.3Nb.sub.2O.sub.8 precursor powder, thermally
decomposing the powder to obtain BiNbO.sub.4 or Zn.sub.3Nb.sub.2O.sub.8
powder, adding CuO and V.sub.2O.sub.5, pulverizing and sintering the
mixture, which produces ceramics having small dielectric losses
(Qf.sub.0>15,000 GHz) and high dielectric constant (k=20 45) at
microwave frequencies by sintering at a low temperature of 700 to
750.degree. C. Thus, the microwave dielectric ceramics prepared in
accordance with the present invention can be advantageously used in
multi-layer ceramic packaging such as filter planar antenna, microwave
oscillator, etc., which comprise base metals such as silver (Ag) and
copper (Cu) as an internal electrode.
