The performance of transmit beamforming for both optimized precoding and self-interference cancellation (SIC) in full duplex multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transceivers is analysed in this paper. With sub-space dimension larger than that of the null-space of the self-interference channels, the precoding error is reduced but the interference suppression ratio (ISR) is degraded, resulting in a trade-off between multibeam communication and MIMO SIC. An analytical approach for the ISR evaluation is proposed assuming known eigenvalue distribution of the self-interference channels, and a closed-form ISR expression is derived after applying a uniform distribution approximation. The ISR and precoding error trade-off curves are also formulated. Joint SIC by transmit beamforming and beam-based analog adaptive filters over both propagation and analog domains is proposed to achieve better SIC performance and enable more flexible receive antenna selection. Simulation results verify the theoretical analyses.
