Abstract
Alamouti STC (Space-Time Code) is a part of the UMTS-WCDMA standard. However, up to the best of our knowledge no closed-form BER formula for this famous code exists. Evaluating its performance through simulations is time-consuming and therefore, there should be analytical BER graphs to serve as a reference which are derived in this paper for coherently BPSK-modulated data.
