Improving performance of coherent coded It can be shown that if the channel estimates are perfect(a1=a1, a2 OFDM systems using space time transmit a2)diversity can be achieved
Introduction Frequency-selective fading is a dominant impairment in mobile communications Fading reduces receive signal-to-noise ratio and degrades the bit-error-rate(BER) Frequency selectivity of the channel, i. e, delay spread, induces inter-symbol interference(ISI) To combat frequency-selective fading
