چکیده
This paper describes the concept, architecture, development and demonstration of a real time, maximum likelihood Alamouti decoder for a wireless 4-transmit 4-receiver multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) Smart Antenna Software Radio Test System (SASRATS) platform. It is implemented on a Xilinx Vertex 2 Pro Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Hardware, firmware, use of the Xilinx Core Generator Intellectual Property modules and experimental verification of the decoder are discussed.

متن کاملCharacterization of $2times 2$ full diversity space-time codes and inequivalent full rank spaces
In wireless communication systems, space-time codes are applied to encode data when multiple antennas are used in the receiver and transmitter. The concept of diversity is very crucial in designing space-time codes. In this paper, using the equivalent definition of full diversity space-time codes, we first characterize all real and complex $2times 2$ rate one linear dispersion space-...
