Performance Analysis of Space-Time Block Codes in Flat Fading MIMO Channels with Offsets

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking volume 2007, Article number: 030548 (2007) Cite this article

Abstract

We consider the effect of imperfect carrier offset compensation on the performance of space-time block codes. The symbol error rate (SER) for orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) is derived here by taking into account the carrier offset and the resulting imperfect channel state information (CSI) in Rayleigh flat fading MIMO wireless channels with offsets.
