Rate two full-diversity space-frequency code design for MIMO-OFDM

In this paper we propose a high-rate full-diversity space-frequency code (SFC) for MIMO-OFDM system over multipath fading channels. The proposed SFC can achieve full-diversity with a transmission rate up to 2 symbols per channel use (pen) for two transmit antennas. The theoretical claims are confirmed by simulations and the performance compared with existing SFC.
