Abstract :
The possibility of a nano-tube antenna is discussed. Based on the intrinsic ballistic transportation of electrons in a nano-tube, a novel design of antenna with a nano-tube is proposed and its radiation efficiency and radiation directivity have been researched. It can be seen from the numerical results that nano-tube antennas or arrays possess lower loss and better radiation directivity and higher gain, taking the microstrip antenna as reference.
