In the last decades, the high frequency dielectric response has been one of the most studied issues in the ferroelectricity area. The main dielectric characteristic is the strong dependence of the dielectric parameters (real and imaginary component of the dielectric permittivity) with the measuring frequency (dielectric dispersion). Among them, the perovskite-structured family, such as barium titanate (BaTiO3), pure and modified lead zirconate titanate (PZT and PLZT, respectively), and some others similar compounds can be emphasised. In order to explain such phenomenon some theoretical models have been proposed, nevertheless a major discussion about the true mechanism responsible for the microwave dielectric dispersion remains still open. In this work, a pressurecontrolled sample holder for microwave dielectric measurements is presented. The experimental set-up involves a coaxial line coupled to a pressure-controlled sample holder able to obtain the dielectric characterization as a function of the temperature. On the other hand, the microwave dielectric dispersion process was investigated in the relaxor and normal ferroelectric composítions of lanthanum modified lead titanate ceramics. The obtained results were discussed concerning a damped harmonic oscillator, considering the vibration of the boundaries of the polar regions, independently of their structure, as the mechanism responsible for the high frequency dielectric anomalies (dielectric dispersion and resonance) in ferroelectric systems.
