Based on the analysis of traditional antennas and nano-physics
the concept of design of antennas with nano-tube array is proposed here.The intrinsic ballistic transportation of electrons in nano-tube makes it possible for antennas consisting of nano-tube array to radiate with higher efficiency.Meanwhile
because there is no skin effect among nano-tubes
required current distribution can be achieved by arranging nano-tubes in a giving aperture and space
thus the gain of present antenna can be further enhanced.Calculation results indicate that
except for the high efficiency
directivity of nano-tube array is better than traditional microstrip antenna with the same area.Possible feed method of nano-tube array is also discussed.
