Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3–BaWO4 ceramics with transition metal ions acceptor Mn and donor V-doping are prepared by solid-state route and characterized systematically in terms of their phase compositions, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. These dopants had a strong effect on microstructures of the ceramics. Curie temperatures of all samples are shifted and their dielectric peaks were broadened. Meanwhile, loss tangent of either the acceptor (Mn-doped) or the donor (V-doped) doped samples decreased at both low frequency (10 kHz) and microwave frequency at room temperature. Especially, the doped samples exhibit promising microwave dielectric properties, making them suitable candidates for applications in electrically tunable microwave devices.
► Difference of structure and properties between acceptor and donor doped samples were analyzed. ► All the doped samples decrease loss tangent availably both at low frequency and high frequency. ► Doped samples have high Q value, acceptable tunability and appropriated value of permittivity.
