Abstract

Closed-form expressions of the bit error rate (BER) are derived for space-time block codes based on Alamouti´s (1998) scheme and utilizing M-ary phase shift keying modulation with noncoherent differential encoding/decoding. The analysis is carried out for the flat block-fading Rayleigh channel, and the BER expression is an approximation for high signal to noise ratio. Theoretical results are validated by simulations for BPSK and QPSK modulations.
