We propose a systematic method for creating constellations of unitary space–time signals for multiple-antenna communication links. Unitary space–time signals, which are orthonormal in time across the antennas, have been shown to be well-tailored to a Rayleigh fading channel where neither the transmitter nor the receiver knows the fading coefficients. The signals can achieve low probability of e...
