Transmit diversity can be applied to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by adopting space-frequency block coding (SFBC). To carry out simple linear decoding, it is usually assumed that the channel remains constant within an OFDM symbol. However, this assumption becomes unreliable when system operates in a severe multipath environment presenting time and selective fading. Due fact received signal composed overlapped signals transmitted from different transmit antennas,...
