In this paper, ap- proximate analysis of power offset is presented to describe MIMO system with uniform linear antenna arrays of fixed length. It is assumed that the number of receive antenna is larger than that of transmit antenna. Spa- tially Correlated MIMO Channel is approximated by tri-diagonal toeplitz matrix. The determinant of tri-di- agonal toeplitz matrix, which is fitted by elementary curve, is one of the key factors related to power offset. Based on the curve fitting, the determinant of tri-diagonal toeplitz matrix is mathematically tractable. Conse- quently, the expression of local extreme points can be derived to optimize power offset. The simulation re- sults show that approximation above is accurate in local extreme points of power offset. The proposed ex- pression of local extreme points is helpful to approach optimal power offset. Keywords: MIMO, multiplexing gain, power offset, high snr region, toeplitz matrix 1. Introduction pact of the Ricean factor at high SNR region could be conveniently quantified through the corresponding power offset. In [9], high SNR power offset in multiple antenna communication was derived in detail. Achievable through- put was compared between the optimal strategy of dirty paper coding and suboptimal linear precoding techniques (zero-forcing and block diagonalization) in [10] on appli- cation of power offset. Hence, power offset is an impor- tant parameter in multiple antenna communication. Multiple-input multip
