In this research, Li2TiO3 ceramic was sintered via heating procedures of conventional and microwave sintering. The maximum density of 3.08 g/cm3 at 1200˚C with 3 h holding time and 3.12 g/cm3 at 1300˚C without any holding time was achieved through conventional and microwave sintering, respectively. The thermal behavior was investigated using DTA-TG, phase analysis was performed by XRD technique, and microstructures were observed by FE-SEM. Also microwave measurements were performed using Network Analyser. XRD investigations showed a higher intensity of (002) peak located at 2θ=18.46˚ in microwave sintered part attributed to higher degree of cation ordering and superlattice formation. Microstructural investigations by SEM revealed the finer microstructures of microwave rather than conventionally sintered parts. The maximum microwave characteristics were measured εr= 20.29 and Q×f = 26191 GHz for parts sintered in a conventional furnace at 1200˚C and εr= 20.86 and Q×f = 25610 GHz for parts sintered in microwave at 1300˚C.
