Abstract
We investigate the singular value decomposition of a rectangular matrix that is analytic on the complex unit circumference, which occurs, e.g., with the matrix of transfer functions representing a broadband multiple-input multiple-output channel. Our analysis is based on the Puiseux series expansion of the eigenvalue decomposition of analytic para-Hermitian matrices on the complex unit circumference. We study the case in which the rectangular matrix does not admit a full analytic singular value factorization, either due to partly multiplexed systems or to sign ambiguity. We show how to find an SVD factorization in the ring of Puiseux series where each singular value and the associated singular vectors present the same period and multiplexing structure, and we prove that it is always possible to find an analytic pseudo-circulant factorization, meaning that any arbitrary arrangements of multiplexed systems can be converted into a parallel form. In particular, one can show that the sign ambiguity can be overcome by allowing non-real holomorphic singular values.
