Modeling and Simulation of Carbon Nanotube Antennas - Computational Challenges

Abstract

Carbon nanotube antennas and antenna arrays are discussed as possible nanoantennas in the GHz frequency range. Due to their exceedingly small radius, carbon nanotubes present unique measurement and simulation challenges, unlike those encountered in ordinary antenna applications. In this paper, we present preliminary results for measurement and simulation of carbon nanotube based antennas.
