Abstract

It is known that the Alamouti code is the only complex orthogonal design (COD) which achieves capacity and that too for the case of two transmit and one receive antennas only. Damen et al. gave a design for 2 transmit antennas, which achieves capacity for any number of receive antennas, calling it an information lossless STBC. We construct capacity achieving designs using cyclic division algebras for an arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas. For the STBCs obtained using these designs, we present simulation results for those numbers of transmit and receive antennas for which Damen et al. also give and show that our STBCs perform better than their's.
