In this work, we provide a framework analysis of dual-hop hybrid Millimeter Wave Radio Frequency (RF)/Free Space Optical (FSO) MIMO relaying system. The source is equipped with multiple antennas and employs conjugate beamforming while the destination consists of multiple apertures with selection combining. The system also consists of a relay operating at amplify-and-forward mode. The RF channels are subject to Nakagami-m fading while the optical links experience the M&#x00E1;laga distribution. In addition, we introduce the impairments to the relay and receiver. In fact, the relay is impaired by the High Power Amplifier (HPA) nonlinearities while the receiver suffers from the In phase and Quadrature Imbalance. Moreover, we assume two types of HPA nonlinearities impairments called Soft Envelope Limiter (SEL) and Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA). Closed-forms of the outage probability, the bit error probability, and the ergodic capacity are derived. Capitalizing on these performances, we derive the high SNR asymptotes to unpack insightful metrics such as the diversity gain. We also address the impacts of some key factors on the system performance such as the impairments, the interferers, the number of antennas and apertures and the pointing errors, etc. Finally, the analytical expressions are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation.
