It is well known that the cubic pyrochlore Bi{sub 1.5}ZnNb{sub 1.5}O{sub 7} exhibits higher permittivity and dielectric loss than monoclinic Bi{sub 2}Zn{sub 2/3}Nb{sub 4/3}O{sub 7} due to structural disorder in the A sites of Bi{sub 1.5}ZnNb{sub 1.5}O{sub 7}. We have studied systematically the impact of the ion substitution in the A site of monoclinic Bi{sub 2}Zn{sub 2/3}Nb{sub 4/3}O{sub 7} on the structure and microwave dielectric properties. It is shown that the structure and permittivity of (Bi{sub 1.92}M{sub 0.08})(Zn{sub 0.64}Nb{sub 1.36})O{sub 7} (M=Zn,Ca,Cd,Sr,Ba) ceramics remain almost the same as in Bi{sub 2}Zn{sub 2/3}Nb{sub 4/3}O{sub 7}; only the Ba substituted ceramics have higher permittivity due to multiphase structure. Microwave dielectric properties were compared with complex dielectric response in terahertz and infrared frequency range of 0.1-100 THz, which allows us to estimate intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to microwave dielectric losses. The best microwave properties were obtained in (Bi{sub 1.92}Ca{sub 0.08})(Zn{sub 0.64}Nb{sub 1.36})O{sub 7} with {epsilon}=76, Qf{>=}5000 (sintered below 950 deg.C), which is promising for microwave low temperature cofiring ceramic application.
