This paper employs a high resolution quantization framework to study the effects of finite-rate quantization of the channel state information (CSI) on the performance of MISO systems over correlated fading channels. The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, as an application of the general distortion analysis, tight lower bounds on the capacity loss of correlated MISO systems due to the finite-rate channel quantization are provided. Closed-form expressions for the capacity loss in high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and low-SNR regimes are also provided, and their analysis reveals that the capacity loss of correlated MISO channels is related to that of i.i.d. fading channels by a simple multiplicative factor which is given by the ratio of the geometric mean to the arithmetic mean of the eigenvalues of the channel covariance matrix. Second, this paper extends the general asymptotic distortion analysis to the important practical problem of suboptimal quantizers resulting from mismatches in the distortion functions, source statistics, and quantization criteria. As a specific application, two types of mismatched MISO CSI quantizers are investigated: quantizers whose codebooks are designed with minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion but the distortion measure is the ergodic capacity loss (i.e., mismatched design criterion), and quantizers with codebook designed with a mismatched channel covariance matrix (i.e., mismatched statistics). Bounds on the channel capacity loss of the mismatched codebooks are provided and compared to that of the optimal quantizers. Finally, numerical and simulation results are presented and they confirm the tightness of theoretical distortion bounds.
