Abstract

We consider a space-time coded system in a correlated Rayleigh flat fading environment with imperfect channel estimation. Two receiver structures are considered: a suboptimum receiver and the optimum maximum likelihood receiver. The system performance of both receivers is analyzed in terms of the pairwise error probability.
