Abstract :
This Letter focuses on the development of a blind adaptive receiver for space-time block coding (STBC) over multipath fading. The constant modulus (CM) criterion is utilised on the received signals, whereby an orthogonality constraint of the transmitted STBC signals prevents the multiple extractions of the same source. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm in a fading channel.
