Solar antenna array fabrication

A method to construct a center-tapped full-wave rectified multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) antenna array, the method including:

• depositing a repeating pattern of interdigitated lines on a glass substrate;
• growing groups of two MWCNT antennas from a common line to each of two separate adjacent conductive lines;
• from each group connecting the two MWCNT antennas on the common line by either multiple direct contacts or multiple irregularly grown small carbon nanotubes (CNTs);
• and depositing a conductive ground plane above the MWCNT antenna array.
