Abstract

Simulation models are proposed to predict the transmission performances and the signal integrity of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles in the frequency and time domain. The multiconductor transmission line approach is used for the computation of the common mode responses of bundles made by a different number of conductive nanotubes in the frequency range up to 10 GHz. The eye-diagram is the tool to verify the time-domain characteristics of the bundle excited by a digital voltage source with a capacity of 5 Gbit/s. A reduced- order model is developed for the analysis of the cross-talk between SWCNT bundles inside the same rope.
