In this work, we consider a full-duplex (FD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular network with low resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Our first contribution is to propose a unified framework for forward link analysis where matched filter precoders are applied at the FD base stations (BSs) under channel hardening. Second, we derive expressions for the signal-to-quantization-plus-interference-plus-noise ratio (SQINR) for
