Saglam and published by . This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the simulation performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems utilizing Alamouti-based space-time block coding (STBC) technique. The MIMO communication systems using STBC technique employing both single-carrier modulation and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are simulated in Matlab. The physical layer part of the IEEE 802.16a standard is used in constructing the simulated OFDM schemes. Stanford University Interim (SUI) channel models are selected for the wireless channel in the simulation process. The performance results of the simulated MIMO systems are compared to those of conventional single antenna systems.
