A novel ceramic ferrite/ferroelectric composite material having a low dissipation factor, voltage tunability, and proper impedance matching for the incident medium. The material comprises ferrites doped with the ferroelectric Barium Strontium Titanate (BSTO) or ferrites doped with the ferroelectric Barium Strontium Titanate (BSTO)/MgO. Preferred composites are magnesium ferrites doped with BSTO and magnesium ferrites doped with BSTO/MgO. Most particularly, the inventive composites are comprised of magnesium ferrites doped with Ba1-xSrxTiO3 and magnesium ferrites doped with Ba1-xSrxTiO3/MgO, wherein x is greater than 0.00, but less than or equal to 0.75, and wherein the percent weight ratio of magnesium ferrite to BSTO or BSTO/MgO is 60 to 95 percent ferrite to 40 to 5 percent BSTO or 60 to 95 percent ferrite to 40 to 5 percent BSTO/MgO ferroelectric. A particularly well suited composite, i.e., one having a mu /+531 ratio close to unity, comprises 80 weight percent magnesium ferrite and 20 weight percent BSTO/MgO, wherein said BSTO/MgO comprises 80 weight percent Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 combined with 20 weight percent MgO.
