Performance of space-time coded continuous phase modulated signals over different fading environments

We investigate the performance of space time codes (STCs) modulated using continuous phase modulation (CPM) for different quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. We propose few STC-CPM schemes that satisfy the full-rank condition, which is necessary to achieve maximum diversity, and also provide some guideline on how to find such STC-CPM schemes. To assess the performance, numerical examples are presented, and according to these results, the proposed STC-CPM systems perform similar to linearly modulated STCs
