Hameed Miyan, Kumarikiran

Abstract: In this paper we study Orthogonal-Space-Ttime Block-Coded (OSTBC) Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems employing Transmit Antenna Selection (TAS) with frobenius norm as a selection criterion and compares the BER performance for QAM with order 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The minimum BER for the proposed MIMO system is of about 7.50x10-05 at 14dB SNR, 1.67x10- 05 at 20dB SNR, 0.225x10-03 at 20dB SNR, 0.166x10-02 at 20dB SNR, 0.84x10-02 at 20dB SNR, for 4QAM, 8QAM, 16QAM, 32QAM and 64QAM respectively.
