The superiority of exploring millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies for future wireless communication systems has pushed forward the development of large-scale antenna arrays for achieving sufficient array gain and high spectral efficiency. In this paper, we study the matrix normalization (MN) based zero-forcing (ZF) hybrid precoding in multi-user multi-input-multi-output (MU-MIMO) mmWave systems. We derive the upper bounds of the achievable rate for two representative hybrid array structures, i.e., fully-connected structure and partially-connected structure. Analytical and simulation results validate the tightness of the proposed performance upper bounds for both hybrid structures using massive array, and provide a comparison of the achievable rate using MN and vector normalization (VN).
