| Popis: | This paper presents a starting study of carbon nanotube usefulness in microwave applications, mainly in the field of nano-antenna and nano-switches. We reviewed first the main structural, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes. Then we started studying the possibilities offered by metallic carbon nanotubes as nano-antennas in the E- and W- bands and further comparison with macroscopic wire antennas and the major advantages brought by nanotubes but also the technical issues to be addressed. Finally we are looking into the integration of carbon nanotubes in nano-electro-mechanical-systems (NEMS) through nano-switches. The contribution of carbon nanotubes is detailed with a state-of-the-art as well as our future approaches for such nano devices. |
