Properties of the Sr3MoO6 electroceramic for RF/microwave devices

The Sr3MoO6 (SMO) double perovskite has been studied due to its photoluminescence properties. Herein, the aim of this work is to study the dielectric properties of the SMO in radiofrequency (RF). From impedance spectra, we proposed an equivalent circuit using three associations of R-CPE in parallel. We also evaluated its performance as a microwave device (dielectric resonator antenna - DRA). The SMO-based DRA operated at 3.71 GHz (frequency of operation antenna), with reasonable gain (5.00 dBi) and directivity (5.70 dBi), where these values are close to the ones presented by commercial antennas. Additionally, a numerical simulation is performed to obtain the main parameters for proper device application. Based on our results, SMO electroceramic shows important properties, which can be used for devices operating in the S-band such as weather radar, surface ship radar and communications satellites.
