Abstract

Microwave materials are fundamental building blocks for defense and aerospace applications, which have been used as dielectric resonators, radomes, multilayer packages, electromagnetic shield, and so on. These materials and devices made of them should survive in harsh environmental conditions, and hence the availability of suitable materials is limited. Microwave materials are used for signal propagation as well as shielding unwanted signals in military and aerospace applications depending on their properties. The essential material characteristics required for signal propagation applications are very low relative permittivity, low dielectric loss, low-temperature variation of relative permittivity/resonant frequency, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. The materials used for these applications are in the form of substrates, foams, inks, bulk resonators, high-temperature co-fired ceramics (HTCC), low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), printed circuit boards (PCBs), etc. The materials should absorb or reflect microwaves for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. The present chapter gives an overview of microwave material requirements, properties, and their applications in antennas, filters, and oscillators in the military and aerospace sector.
