Barium strontium titanate, BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST for short), thin films are grown on the substrates of barium magnesium tantalite, Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BMT for short), by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The microstructures and electric properties of Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 ceramics and BaxSr1-xTiO3 films are investigated, and the phase shifter is fabricated. Both Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 and BaxSr1-xTiO3 have perovskite structure and BMT ceramics has high Q0 at microwave frequency , so BMT substrate is compatible and suitable for BST films. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the BST films are 510 and 2% respectively , and about 50% dielectric constant tunability is achieved with an electric field bias of 3v/μm. The dielectric loss of BST films shows no obvious change with the electric fields. About 50° of phase shift has obtained with an electric field bias of 2v/μm at 5GHz .
