The capacity of millimeter-wave (mmWave) line-of-sight (LOS) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel can be reduced due to the absence of rich scattering. However, the optimization of antenna array deployment can enable the maximum spatial multiplexing gain in the mmWave LOS MIMO channel, which can be applied to the long distance airborne data transmission. In this paper, we first establish the channel model of mmWave LOS MIMO based on a uniform circular antenna array (UCA) and derive the upper/lower bound of channel capacity. Aiming at achieving the maximum capacity of mmWave LOS MIMO channel, we propose the Newton-iterative method to obtain the optimal parameters of UCA. To simplify the optimization algorithm, the 2-D search can be transformed into 1-D search. Then, the analysis of bit error rate (BER) of the mmWave LOS MIMO system based on the UCA has been provided to quantify the mmWave LOS MIMO channel. Finally, numerical results demonstrate that the optimal parameters of UCA can be obtained by the Newton-iterative method and the BER of mmWave LOS MIMO communication system based on the corresponding optimized UCA can be minimized.
