We present the analysis of a single-carrier massive MIMO system for the frequency selective Gaussian multi-user channel, in both uplink and downlink directions. We develop expressions for the achievable sum-rate when there is spatial correlation among antennas at the base station. We show that although the Channel Matched Filter Precoder (CMFP) performs the best in a spatially uncorrelated downlink channel, in a spatially correlated channel, CMFP does not perform as expected. We suggest better precoding schemes which lead to a better achievable sum-rate. Considering the same groups of users and antennas, we develop a model for the uplink channel. Using two equalizer structures, we show the results of system performance in terms of achievable rate at the base station.
