Abstract
A simple and general form of threaded algebraic space-time (TAST) codes and constellations for arbitrary numbers of transmit and receive antennas and arbitrary input alphabets is given and analyzed. This new form gives revealing insights on the TAST framework, elucidates the connection between space-time constellation expansion and the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR), and establishes the equivalence between a certain class of TAST constellations and constellations derived from division algebras
