详 情 说 明

In this program, we aim to simulate the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of OSTBC (Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding) with L=4 antennas. The simulation is conducted over a frequency flat Rayleigh block fading channel, which is a commonly used channel model in wireless communication systems. The code used in this program is specifically developed for real orthogonal design, with a code rate of 1/2. The modulation scheme employed in the simulation is 16 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), which supports higher data rates compared to simpler modulation schemes. To ensure reliable transmission, gray coding is applied to the 16 QAM symbols, resulting in a spectral efficiency of 2 bits per second per Hertz. With these settings, we can evaluate the performance of OSTBC in terms of its ability to mitigate fading effects in a wireless communication system.
