• This letter considers optimal transmit beamforming for a sub-connected large-scale MISO system with RF chain and per-antenna power constraints. The system is configured such that each RF chain serves a group of antennas. For the hybrid scheme, necessary and sufficient conditions to design the optimal digital and analog precoders are provided. It is shown that, in the optimum, the optimal phase shift at each antenna has to match the channel coefficient and the phase of the digital precoder. In addition, an iterative algorithm is provided to find the optimal power allocation. We study the case where the power constraint on each RF chain is smaller than the sum of the corresponding per-antenna power constraints. Then, the optimal power is allocated based on two properties: each RF chain uses full power and if the optimal power allocation of the unconstraint problem violates a per-antenna power constraint then it is optimal to allocate the maximal power for that antenna.
