Abstract :
A multipath fading multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) system in which space-time block coded (STBC) signals are equalized by decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is investigated in this paper. Two decoding methods are presented for the STBC-DFE system. Their performances are compared for two multi-user cases. The influence of the feedforward filter taps for the STBC-DFE system is also investigated in this paper
