Abstract

The present invention provides dielectric ceramics with less variation of temperature coefficient at a resonant frequency due to heating history during the sintering of ZrTiO.sub.4 and ZrO.sub.2 --SnO.sub.2 --TiO.sub.2 ceramics, and having a high unloaded Q value and a high dielectric constant, and a temperature coefficient at a resonant frequency which is widely variable as desired, and dielectric resonators using the dielectric ceramics which have a high unloaded Q value and a strong electrode layer. The main components of the dielectric ceramics may be expressed by the formula: xZrO.sub.2 --yTiO.sub.2 --zA.sub.(1+u)/3 B.sub.(2-u)/3 O.sub.2 wherein A denotes at least one component selected from the group (A) consisting of Mg, Co, Zn, Ni and Mn, B denotes at least one component selected from the group (B) consisting of Nb and Ta, and x, y, z and u (x, y and z are molar fractions and u is a value within the range from 0 to 1.90) have the relation of x+y+z=1.0, 0.10.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.60, 0.20.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.60, 0.01.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.0.70. The main component may include, as accessory components, at least one component selected from the group (C) consisting of Ba, Sr, Ca, Cu, Bi and…
