The effect of an ac electric field on the conductance of a system of single-wall semiconductor-type carbon nanotubes placed in a dc electric field is considered. The strength vectors of dc and ac electric fields are directed along the nanotube axis. The electronic system of carbon nanotubes is considered in the context of the Boltzmann kinetic equation in the relaxation-time approximation. The dependence of the current density in the system on the characteristics of applied fields is studied. The effect of absolute negative conductance is detected.
