Abstract
Recently, unitary matrix modulation (UMM) has been investigated in multiple antenna systems which is called unitary space-time modulation (USTM). In an OFDM, different channel delay profiles and path strengths bring different frequency selective patterns. Therefore, OFDM system can potentially provide a diversity at the frequency selective fading due to the different channel delay profiles. When we consider only the diagonal components of UMM with splitting over the coherence bandwidth, the system can obtain a frequency diversity in a single antenna, since the channel response of the diagonal components of UMM that split over the coherence bandwidth shows to be totally different. In this paper, we propose the diagonal components of UMM/OFDM with splitting over the coherence bandwidth (UMM-S/OFDM) in a single antenna. The proposed system can obtain the frequency diversity with splitting the diagonal components of UMM/OFDM over the coherence bandwidth. Therefore, the proposed system with a single antenna can obtain good BER performance like the USTM/OFDM with two antennas. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
