Abstract

Since Alamouti proposes the Space-Time Block Code(STBC),the constructing methods of the STBC are researched widely.The studies show that the complex orthogonal STBC can not achieve full-rate for those systems with more than two receive antennas.The quasi-orthogonal STBC can get full-rate,but loses part of full-diversity.A full-rate full-diversity STBC,according to the rank criterion,is obtained by matrix rotation processing on the conventional quasi-orthogonal STBC.The numerical simulation results show that the BER performance of the full-rate full-diversity QOSTBC is improved 4 dB at least.
