Effect of MgO content on microstructural evolution and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 system was investigated. MgO content was varied from 10 mol% deficiency to 10 mol% excess of stoichiometric composition, respectively. It was found that MgO-deficient specimen showed faster grain growth rate than stoichometric and MgO excess BMT system. Besides, sandwich type precipitates of Ba5Ta4O15 which was formed within the BMT grain, might lead to the anisotropic grain growth of BMT grain. On the contrary, in MgO excess specimen, BMT grain growth rate was retarded by precipitations of MgO phase in grain boundary. Besides, the Q values of MgO-deficient showed lower than MgO-excess due to precipitations of Ba5Ta4O15 within BMT grain.
