About

Carmen Matos is a researcher specializing in millimeter-wave (mmWave) antenna design, phased array systems, and precision antenna measurement techniques, with a particular focus on advancing wireless communication technologies for 5G and beyond. Her work addresses some of the most pressing engineering challenges in the 60 GHz frequency band, where small wavelengths and significant path losses complicate antenna fabrication and performance optimization. Among her most impactful contributions is the development of a low-cost vertically integrated antenna array at 60 GHz achieving an exceptional 85% radiation efficiency, cited 24 times since its 2021 publication. Alongside this, her innovative use of MEMS suspension technology to improve on-chip mmWave phased array efficiency beyond 80%—overcoming the longstanding sub-50% efficiency barrier of silicon-based antennas—has earned 22 citations. Matos has also made notable contributions to antenna measurement methodology, pioneering robotically controlled measurement systems that dramatically reduce misalignment errors inherent in mmWave characterization. These tools, described across multiple publications, provide the research community with more reliable and repeatable experimental frameworks. Her body of work reflects a rare combination of theoretical innovation and practical engineering solutions, making her a valuable voice in the rapidly evolving landscape of next-generation wireless systems.
