Abstract

This paper presents the construction of new totally-real space-time coding schemes suited for carrier-less ultra-wideband transmissions. These schemes are associated with pulse position modulation and with hybrid pulse amplitude and position modulation where the input data is modulated onto both the pulse amplitudes and positions. The new schemes have a uniform average transmitted energy per antenna and achieve full rate and full diversity with hybrid M-PPM-M´-PAM for all values of M´ and for M ges 3, M ges 5 and {M = 5, M ges 7} with n = 2, 3 and 4 transmit antennas respectively
