Abstract
High-data rate and high speed communication techniques are required for wireless mobile communication systems to provide multimedia services. A multiple antenna technology may be used to meet this demand. In this paper, a method for performance improvement of a WCDMA downlink system using space time block coding is proposed in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed receiver uses the cross correlation matrix obtained by each finger corresponding to multi paths. To obtain maximum diversity gain, the inverse of cross correlation matrix and the Hermitian matrix of the channel matrix for each path arc computed, and then applied to received signals. Various simulation results show that the proposed receiver outperforms a conventional receiver in Rayleigh fading channels.
