Effects of sintering time upon the structures and microwave dielectric characteristics of co-substituted $Ba_{6-3x}$/S $m_{8+}$2x/ $Ti_{18}$ $O_{54}$ ceramics (x=2/3) were investigated. Prolonged sintering had significant effects upon the qf value and temperature coefficient, and a high Qf value (10,600 GHz) was obtained in the present ceramics combined with high-$varepsilon$ (80) and near-zero temperature coefficient.t..
