Abstract

The Alamouti orthogonal space-time block code for two transmit antennas was designed primarily for QAM and PSK modulations, and we have previously generalized it for the continuous phase modulation (CPM), denoted as OST-CPM, by maintaining the orthogonality (for the fast ML decoding/demodulation) and the phase continuity of two signals from two transmit antennas. In this paper, we design orthogonal-like space-time coded CPM systems for three and four transmit antennas based on orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal space-time codes. Although the signals from transmit antennas in the proposed orthogonal-like space-time coded CPM systems are not orthogonal, the fast decoding/demodulation is maintained like the two transmit antenna case. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed orthogonal-like space-time coded CPM systems for four transmit antennas is much better than that of the OST-CPM systems for two transmit antennas.
