Performance of Space-Time Coded Continuous Phase Modulated Signals Over Different Fading Environments

Paper in proceeding, 2005

We investigate the performance of space time codes (STCs) modulated using continuous phase modulation (CPM) for different quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. We propose few STC-CPM schemes that satisfy the full-rank condition, which is necessary to achieve maximum diversity, and also provide some guideline on how to find such STC-CPM schemes. To assess the performance, numerical examples are presented, and according to these results, the proposed STC-CPM systems perform similar to linearly modulated STCs.
