Abstract

We consider the point-to-point multi-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel with phase uncertainty (MIMO phase noise channel) at high SNR. With phase noise on the individual paths of the channel (model A), we show that the multiplexing gain is 1/2, which implies that the capacity does not scale with the channel dimension at high SNR. With phase noise at both the input and output of the channel (model B), the multiplexing gain is upper-bounded by 1/2 min nt, (nr-2)++ 1, and lower-bounded by 1/2 min nt,+1/2⌋, where nt and nr are the number of transmit and receive antennas, respectively. The multiplexing gain is enhanced to 1/2 min nt, nr without receive phase noise, and to 1/2 min 2nt-1, nr without transmit phase noise. Our main results rely on the derivation of non-trivial upper and lower bounds on the capacity of such channels.
