ABSTRACT
Configuring precoders and combiners is a major challenge to deploy practical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems with large antenna arrays. Most prior work addresses the problem focusing on a total transmit power constraint. In practical transmitters, however, power amplifiers must operate within their linear range, so that a power constraint applies to each one of the input signals to these devices. Therefore, precoder and combiner designs should incorporate per-antenna or per-radio frequency (RF) chain transmit power constraints. We focus on such problem for frequency-selective channels with multicarrier modulation, and assuming hybrid analog/digital architectures based on fully connected analog blocks implemented with finite-resolution phase shifters. We first derive an all-digital solution which aims to maximize spectral efficiency. Then, we develop hybrid precoders and combiners by approximately matching the corresponding all-digital matrices while still enforcing the power constraints. Numerical results show that the proposed all-digital design performs close to the upper bound given by the standard waterfilling-based solution with a total power constraint. Additionally, the hybrid designs exhibit a moderate loss even when low-resolution phase shifters are considered.
