The RE3Al5O12(RE=Tb, Y, Er, Yb) ceramics have been prepared by the mixed oxide route and the influence of Ga3+doping on their properties is investigated. The intrinsic Y3Al5O12(YAG) ceramic sintered at 1650 °C for 4 h showed good dielectric properties; (εr=10.1,Qu×f=65,000 GHz,τf=−45 ppm/°C). Addition of Ga2O3was found to be beneficial in improving the densification of Tb3Al5O12, Er3Al5O12and Yb3Al5O12except Y3Al5O12where Nb2O5is the better choice. Among Ga3+added samples, the composition Yb3Al5O12+1 wt% Ga2O3showed good microwave dielectric properties:εr=10.3,Qu×f=50,000 GHz,τf=−58 ppm/°C. The Y3Al5O12doped with 1 wt% Nb2O5hasεr=10.7,Qu×f=120,000 GHz andτf=−45 ppm/°C. The ceramics have good thermal properties (CTE=2–3 ppm/°C,λ=2–12 W/m K).
