OSTBC–MISO–OFDM/OQAM Systems with Time Reversal Technique

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM/OQAM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme that can be considered as an alternative to the conventional OFDM with cyclic prefix (CP) for transmission over multipath fading channels. In this paper, we investigate the combination of the OFDM/OQAM with orthogonal space time blok coding (OSTBC) in multiple input single output (MISO) system with time reversal (TR) technique. TR can be viewed as a precoding scheme which can be combined with OFDM/OQAM and easily carried out in a MISO context. We present the simulation results of the performance of OFDM/OQAM system in SISO case compared with the conventional CP-OFDM system and the performance of the combination OSTBC–MISO–OFDM/OQAM with TR compared to Alamouti CP-OFDM. The performance is derived by computing the bit error rate as a function of the transmit signal-to-noise ratio.
