MATLAB Simulation of Space-Time Block Codes Implementation in OFDM Systems

Resource Overview

MATLAB-based simulation demonstrating the implementation of Space-Time Block Codes (STBC) in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication systems with detailed code structure and algorithm analysis

Detailed Documentation

This project utilizes MATLAB simulation to implement and experimentally validate Space-Time Block Codes (STBC) within Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. The implementation includes comprehensive MATLAB code for STBC encoding/decoding algorithms integrated with OFDM modulation/demodulation processes. Key components feature Alamouti coding scheme implementation, IFFT/FFT operations for OFDM, channel estimation techniques, and performance evaluation through BER (Bit Error Rate) analysis under various channel conditions. The simulation framework allows testing of multiple antenna configurations and provides quantitative assessment of diversity gains achieved through space-time coding in frequency-selective fading environments characteristic of OFDM systems.
