This study examines the performance of the multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (massive MIMO) systems with 1-bit, 2-bit and 3-bit analogue to digital converters (ADCs) under channel correlation and channel state information (CSI) errors. The OFDM modulated uplink with QPSK, 16QAM and 32QAM schemes are considered for the communication between the base station (BS) and the user equipment (UEs). The BS antenna array is assumed to be uniform linear (1D) or uniform rectangular (2D) arrays. Zero-Forcing (ZF) receiver has been employed by the BS due to its simplicity and superior performance over other linear receivers. Furthermore, we consider the square root raised cosine filter (SRRC) to enhance the performance of the low-resolution ADC systems. The results show that the resolution of ADCs mainly determines the modulation scheme and having a high-level channel correlation or CSI mismatch requires a higher resolution ADCs. Furthermore, it has been shown that the SRRC filter enhances the system performance even with low-resolution ADCs.
