Performance Analysis between SWCNT and Copper Antennas in High Frequency Region

A theoretical investigation is carried out to predict the radiation characteristics of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and bundled SWCNT antenna in the terahertz region. Simulated results indicates that radiation efficiency of a bundled SWCNT antenna is much higher than SWCNT antenna which is above 80%. In the terahertz region, the bundled SWCNT dipole antenna is found more efficient than that of copper dipole antenna.
