The use of multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver has been shown to be an effective way to improve capacity and reliability over those achievable with single antenna wireless systems. Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code (OSTBC) is space-time coding techniques in which data is split into n streams which are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit antennas which can be received by single or multiple antennas. The performance of OSTBC technique can be analyzed for different modulation techniques using multiple transmitting and receiving antennas in terms of BER & SNR.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
