            Abstract : 
Samples of 0.75Bi2O3-ZnO-0.75A2O 5 (A=Nb, Ta) were prepared by conventional ceramic technology, sintered below 1000°C. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the structure of 0.75Bi2O3-ZnO-0.75Nb 2O5 (BZN) composition is characterized as cubic pyrochlore, while the 0.75Bi2O3-ZnO-0.75Ta2 O5 (BZT) composition is a multiphase ceramic with two cubic fluorites and an orthorhombic pyrochlore structures. The bismuth-based ceramic dielectrics have excellent electrical resistivity greater than 1014 ohm-cm. The BZN dielectric has dielectric constant around 130, the room temperature dissipation factor is less than 4×10-4 from 10 KHz to 1 MHz, and the temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant is about -470 ppm/°C. For the BZT composition, the dielectric constant decreases to 80, the dissipation factor deteriorates to 5×10-3, and the temperature coefficient increases to +60 ppm/°C
