contents This paper investigates the maximum coding rate at which data can be transmitted over a noncoherent, multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh block-fading channel using an error-correcting code of a given blocklength with a block-error probability not exceeding a given value. A high-SNR normal approximation is derived that becomes accurate as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the number of coherence intervals over which we code tend to infinity. The obtained normal approximation complements the nonasymptotic bounds that have appeared in the literature, but whose evaluation is computationally demanding. It further lays the theoretical foundation for an analytical analysis of the fundamental tradeoff between diversity, multiplexing, and channel-estimation cost at finite blocklength and finite SNR.
