Abstract

This correspondence presents new rate-1 space-time block codes (STBCs) attending full diversity over every quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation when the number of Tx antennas is a power of two. From the simulation results, our design performs very closely to the quasi-orthogonal code with constellation rotation over 4-QAM and 16-QAM in the case of four Tx antennas over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. Moreover, the proposed codes would not cause any constellation expansion over QAM symbols in contrast with the quasi-orthogonal codes with constellation rotations.
