Abstract

In this paper, we propose orthogonal Space-Time (ST) codes for binary Pulse Position Modulations (PPM). Unlike the well known orthogonal ST codes, the proposed schemes verify the additional constraint of achieving a full transmit diversity order without introducing any phase rotations. This renders the proposed codes suitable for Free-Space Optical (FSO) communications with direct detection and for Ultra-WideBand (UWB) communications. At the receiver side, optimal detection can be achieved with linear operations and the proposed codes can be also applied with On-Off Keying (OOK).
