, while Ti substitution disrupts this 1:1 ordering between Ga and Nb, and the metastable ordering between Ti and (Ga + Nb) is speculated to form due to their large size difference. The dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency increase nonlinearly as

increases, while the Qf value decreases gradually. The variation trend of Qf value is mainly attributed to the intrinsic loss because of the increasing vibrational anharmonicity by Ti substitution. The ordering transition from short coherence, long‐range ordering to short‐range ordering with increasing Ti content has an agreeable and weak effect on the Qf value. The best combination of microwave dielectric properties is achieved for the composition of
