5.5 Case Studies and Applications
5.5.1 Fundamental Example of Using Large Random Matrix
We follow [279] for this development. Define an M × N complex matrix as
where (Xij)1≤i≤M, 1≤j≤N are (a number of MN) i.i.d. complex Gaussian variables 
. x1, x2, …, xN are columns of X. The covariance matrix R is
The empirical covariance matrix is defined as
In practice, we are interested in the behavior of the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of 
for large M and N. For example, how do the histograms of the eigenvalues (λi)i=1, …, M of 
behave when M and N increase? It is well known that when M is fixed, but N increases, that is, 
is small, the large law of large numbers requires
In other words, ...
