Abstract: This paper studies the capacity of an $n$-dimensional vector Gaussian noise channel subject to the constraint that an input must lie in the ball of radius $R$ centered at the origin. It is known that in this setting the optimizing input distribution is supported on a finite number of concentric spheres. However, the number, the positions and the probabilities of the spheres are generally unknown. This paper characterizes necessary and sufficient conditions on the constraint $R$ such that the input distribution supported on a single sphere is optimal. The maximum $$, such that using only a single sphere is optimal, is shown to be a solution of an integral equation. Moreover, it is shown that $$ scales as $sqrtn$ and the exact limit of $$ is found.
