The article describes the implementing techniques for calculating the band structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes of the «chair» and «zigzag» type, as well as numerical calculations and formulas of the simplest analytical calculation. We obtained the dispersion relations of the nanotubes energy and their band structures. Findings of the research can be useful for studying electronic properties of carbon nanotubes of the «chair» and «zigzag» type, determining the conductivity and for the purposes of comparative analysis. This article is of interest to specialists in the field of nanoelectronics.
