An upper frequency-range circuit ( 160 ) includes a load element ( 168 ) exhibiting a capacitive load impedance. A first matching network ( 166 ) includes at least one nano-scale Litz wire ( 100 ) inductor. The first matching network ( 166 ) exhibits an inductive reactance that nominally matches the capacitive load reactance. An electrical conductor for providing connections for radio-frequency signals includes a plurality of nano-scale conductors ( 120 ) that are arranged in the form of a Litz wire ( 100 ). In one method of making a Litz wire ( 142 ), a plurality of carbon nanotubes ( 144 ) is placed on a substrate ( 146 ). The carbon nanotubes ( 144 ) are woven according to a predefined scheme so as to form a Litz wire ( 142 ). An inductor may be formed by manipulating the Litz wire ( 100 ) to form a coil ( 150 ).
