Abstract
We present quantitative predictions of the performance of nanotubes and nanowires as antennas, including the radiation resistance, the input reactance and resistance, and antenna efficiency, as a function of frequency and nanotube length. Particular attention is paid to the quantum capacitance and kinetic inductance. In so doing, we also develop a circuit model for a transmission line made of two parallel nanotubes, which has applications for nano-interconnect technology.
