has been synthesized by the solid solution route. The synthesized sample was characterized by complex permeability, complex permittivity, complex impedance, conductance and quality factor. The complex permeability spectrum followed Snoke's law. The ac permittivity decreases monotonically with increasing frequency. The ac conductivity mechanism is discussed on the basis of a hopping electron model.
