Performance Analysis of Massive MIMO-OFDM System with Mixed-precision Analog-to-digital Converter

The spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of the uplink of massive MIMO-OFDM system is studied using mixed-precision Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) reception algorithm at the receiver. By using the additive quantization noise model to analyze the performance of the system, the approximate closed expression of the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of the whole system is derived, and the correctness of the expression is proved by simulation. The research results show that the spectral efficiency of the system is related to the transmission power of each user, the number of antennas at the receiver and the quantization accuracy of the receiver. Numerical and simulation results also show that the performance loss caused by the low-precision ADC can be compensated by increasing the number of antennas at the base station.
