Simple Design on Nanoscale Receivers Using CNT Cantilevers

A nanoscale receiver utilizing the cantilever of a carbon nanotube has been developed to detect phase information included in transmitted signals. The existing receiver consists of a phase detector and demodulator which employ a reference wave and carrier signal, respectively. This paper presents a design method to simplify the receiver in structure with enhancing the performance for the phase detection. The reference wave or carrier signal is not needed in the receiver via the proposed design method.
