This work presents a comparison between the dielectric properties of the SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 (SBN) ceramic matrix and the individual additions of Bi 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 , suggesting the material that would be most suitable for microwave applications. The SBN sample was synthesized by solid-state reaction, and the X-ray diffraction method (XRD) was used for the structural characterization of the materials analyzed in this study. Thermal stability of the samples was measured experimentally by studying the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) the results confirm that the individual additions of 15 wt% of Bi 2 O 3 or La 2 O 3 improved the thermostability of the composites. The Hakki-Coleman method was used to obtain the dielectric properties in the microwave range, and it is possible to observe that the dielectric permittivity of the composites increased, while their loss tangents decreased. The numerical simulation demonstrated the functioning of the materials as dielectric resonating antennas (DRA), with a reflection coefficient below -10 dB in all samples.
