The attenuation and the electrical permittivity of the double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) were determined in the frequency range of 1–65 GHz. A micromachined coplanar waveguide transmission line supported on a Si membrane with a thickness of 1.4 µm was filled with a mixture of DWCNTs. The propagation constants were then determined from the S parameter measurements. The DWCNTs mixture behaves like a dielectric in the range of 1–65 GHz with moderate losses and an abrupt change of the effective permittivity that is very useful for gas sensor detection. ©2006 American Institute of Physic
