LV Zhen-su · Modern Electronics Technique · 2006
Based on studying the performance of Alamouti space-time block codes over Rayleigh fading channels,the paper analyzes the error probability of space-time block code and derives the minimum distance sphere bound of the symbol error rate for M-ary modulation over Rician fading environment.Simulations demonstrate that the good performance of space-time block code by using multiple transmit antennas and receive antennas,the floor effect of transmit-antenna number and the symbol error rate are influenced by Rician factor K over Rician fading channels.
