Formulates the constant-modulus factorization problem, introduces the spatially sparse precoding algorithm, and proves its near-optimality for mmWave channels. Algorithm 1 of the paper is the OMP pseudocode of Section 20.4. The theoretical analysis of residual error under grid mismatch is in their Section V.
