The Powerful Alamouti Code in MIMO -OFDM Improvement for the Next Generation of Terrestrial Television Broadcasting Systems

This paper proposes and analyses an efficient wireless telecommunication system with multiple antennas to the emission and reception MIMO (multiple input multiple output) with space diversity in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Di vision Multiplex). The proposed system consists to add modified Alamouti encoder to the system OFDM to improve the performance of the destination by intimately collaborating with the antennas system. We analyse the performance of a DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) broadcasting system that includes MIMO encoder, associate with OFDM techniques, which can improve the appreciation of the quality of transmission bit error rate (BER) in terms of (C/N) carrier-tonoise ratio. Different propagation channel models and configurations are considered for each diversity scheme. This study has been carried out in the context of MIMO -OFDM improvement for the next generation of Digital Terrestrial Television broadcasting systems.
