Abstract :
We present results of the characterization of a nanoelectromechanical signal-processing device based on arrays of carbon nanotubes embedded in RF waveguides. The design, fabrication, and operation of the device will be discussed, including initial RF measurements. Preliminary tests suggest that transmission of an RF signal through the array is associated with the mechanical resonance of the carbon nanotubes.
