Modelling and Simulation of Rectangular Bundle of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Antenna Applications

Abstract:

This paper aims to present an effective electromagnetic (EM) modelling approach for rectangular bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes (RB-SWCNTs), based on the electrical conductivity, relative complex permittivity and linear distribution impedance by applying General Ohm’s law for this bundle. The equivalent single conductor material (ESCM) model for personification the RB-SWCNTs is present in this paper. The main target of this modeling approach is to estimate and investigate the EM properties of RB-SWCNTs using common EM engineering tool solver CST (MWS). For this purpose, the RB-SWCNTs and ESCM dipole antennas will be designed and implemented using CST (MWS). The equivalent conductivity model, relative complex permittivity and other parameters of the RB-SWCNTs will be derived in this paper and considered as an equivalent material parameters for the ESCM. This modeling technique is expected to provide new avenues for designing different antenna structures.
