Abstract

The radio-frequency signal propagation along SWCNT bundle interconnects is analyzed comparing the results obtained applying the exact multiconductor transmission line model and the equivalent single conductor approach. The accuracy and computational effort of different formulations of the effective per-unit-length parameters are assessed and discussed.
