Abstract :
In this paper, the capacity of orthogonal space-time block coding (STBC) is considered for PAM/PSK/QAM modulation in correlated flat fading channels. The approach is based on an equivalent scalar AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel with a channel gain proportional to the Frobenius norm of the matrix channel for STBC.
