In particular, the effect of channel delay distributions on the code performance is discussed. For a STTCOFDM over multiple-tap channels, two extreme conditions that produce the largest minimum determinant are highlighted. The analysis also proves that the corresponding coding gain increases with the maximum tap delay. The performance of STTC-OFDM, under various channel conditions, is evaluated by simulation. It is shown that the simulation results agree with the performance analysis.}, journal = {International Journal of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {1}, year = {2008}, pages = {176 - 182}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13038}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/13}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 13, 2008}, }
