Abstract

Based on the theory of optimum diversity combining, this paper presents original results for the error rate calculations for the Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) in generalized Gaussian MIMO channels. A simple bound for the symbol rate performance is derived, allowing to track contribution of channel parameters to the performance. Channel hardening is then investigated from the probability of error point of view. Results of the application of different signal constellation's choice are shown from the prospective of the trade- off between the error performance and spectral efficiency.
