Hybrid precoding has become a well-accepted approach to enhance the achievable rate in the adverse millimetre-wave (mm-Wave) MIMO channels. Transceiver impairments are inherent to any practical communication system, yet they are generally omitted when investigating the performance of wireless systems. More particularly, for the case of mm-Wave underground channels, no study has been reported yet. To overcome this limitation, in this Letter, a new architecture encompassing hybrid precoded mm-Wave MIMO structure, in which the hardware impairments have been incorporated in the transceiver processing, is presented. Furthermore, the geometrical one ring model is applied on the underground mm-Wave measured channel in which the architecture is tested.
