  • Abstract
    This paper shows analytically and through bit error rate (BER) simulations that both the G2 space-time block (STB) and the maximal ratio receive combining (MRRC) systems suffer a BER performance degradation as a consequence of channel estimation errors, suffering the G2 STB system the greatest degradation. Also, it is shown that both systems suffer equal performance degradation due to fading correlation.
