Abstract :
The expurgated union bounds on frame and bit error probabilities of a space-time trellis coded modulation (ST-TCM) in quasi-static fading channel are derived. These bounds are computed using the truncated “distance spectrum” of the code. A method to compute the truncated spectrum is proposed
