The effects of $TiO_2$ in the glasses on the shrinkage and dielectric properties of BNT-glass composites have been investigated. Without $TiO_2$ addition, BNT-glass composite showed two humps in the shrinkage curve, which are related with crystallization of $BaTi(BO_3)_2\;and\;Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$. However, the increase of $TiO_2$ addition resulted in the decrease of 2nd hump in the shrinkage. The increased dielectric constant with $TiO_2$ addition might be due to the reduced crystallization of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$. A dielectric constant of 52, a quality factor of 5088 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of $-0.16ppm/^{\circ}C$ were obtained for a specimen containing $TiO_2$-added glasses, without sacrificing the benefits of high ${\varepsilon}_r$ and low TCF of BNT ceramics.
