具備大天線陣列的多輸入多輸出毫米波系統將是下一世代通訊系統的關鍵研究題目，基於毫米波射頻鍊的高成本與高能耗，近期的研究提出了類比/數位混合式預編碼，作為適用於毫米波多輸入多輸出系統的預編碼架構。本論文首先介紹多輸入多輸出毫米波預編碼系統之數學模型，並介紹至今研究文獻所提出的混合式預編碼演算法，分析不同演算法在位元錯誤率與運算複雜度之優劣，我們並提出了一基於正交匹配與局部搜尋之改進的低複雜度混合式預編碼演算法，此演算法利用多個正交編碼簿矩陣與局部搜尋以降低運算複雜度，模擬結果證實我們提出的演算法和最新技術的演算法相比，可降低40%的運算複雜度，並只有可忽視的位元錯誤率損失。我們亦基於提出的低複雜度演算法設計並實現一混合式預編碼處理器，晶片使用了TSMC90nmCMOS製程技術實現，並透過國家晶片系統設計中心下線製作。我們設計的處理器在1/2/3/4 個資料流可分別達到11.1M/10.4M/6.9M/4.3M通道矩陣/每秒的吞吐量，和研究文獻中的處理器相比，可在僅28%的核心面積下於1/2/3/4個資料流分別提升65%/55%/40%/7.5%的吞吐量。

Millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system with large antenna arrays is a key research topic in the next generation communication systems. Since the high cost and power consumption of mmWave radio frequency chain, the hybrid analog/digital precoding is recently proposed as a proper precoding architecture for mmWave MIMO systems. In this thesis, we propose a modified low complexity hybrid precoding algorithm based on orthogonal matching and local search. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computation complexity by 40% with negligible BER performance loss compared with state-of-the-art algorithm. We also design and implement a hybrid precoding processor based on the proposed low complexity algorithm. The chip is implemented using TSMC 90nm CMOS process technology. The throughput of implementation processor can achieve 11.1M/10.4M/6.9M/4.3M channel-matrices per second in 1/2/3/4 data streams, respectively. Compared with state-of-the-art work, we increase the throughput by 65%/55%/40%/7.5% in 1/2/3/4 data streams with only 28% core area.
