Abstract

This paper represents a bit error rate performance analysis of multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system with Alamouti Space Time Block Code (STBC) and Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity scheme over Rayleigh fading channel. Recently, Alamouti STBC has gained much attention as an effective transmit diversity scheme to provide reliable transmission with high peak data rates to increase the capacity of wireless communication system. In this paper, the analysis of Alamouti STBC is used in MIMO-OFDM system to assure transmit diversity and the receive diversity is resolved with MRC diversity technique. For a fixed number of transmit antennas, the performance of Alamouti STBC is analyzed in terms of probability of bit error and diversity gain for a Rayleigh fading channel. At the receiving end, the signals received from multiple paths are weighted and summed in accordance with MRC scheme which provides maximum performance improvement by maximizing the SNR of the MIMO-OFDM system. The simulated results depict that the proposed MIMO-OFDM system concatenated with Alamouti STBC and MRC outperforms conventional SISO-OFDM, MISO-OFDM with Alamouti STBC and SIMO-OFDM with MRC technique in a scattering environment.
