Efforts have been made to ease process of producing widely used multilayered ceramics of Barium Zirconium Titanium Oxides and study their dielectric behaviour and structural properties. For this purpose, adequate proportions of Barium Carbonate, Zirconium Oxide and Titanium Oxide were taken and hand milled for 2 hours. Neodymium composition of the order of 0.1% and 0.2% was used for doping to weight percentage of BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3. The samples were authenticated using raw data obtained from Bruker AXS D8 advance Copper KL alpha source XRD equipment. Further, the samples were studied for their phase transition, composition, single phase perovskite structure using XRD technique. The technique has also been applied to know formation of stable homogeneous solid solution from XRD parameters. The other physical parameters like the morphology, micro structural information, crystal arrangements and topography have also been observed through SEM. The SEM has revealed information related to grain size development and composition of sample with fine agglomerates. For complete study of the compounds the atomic and weight composition has also been examined by Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy patterns. The comparison has been made with other works on ceramics at various frequencies and has yielded very interesting results.
