Performance analysis of wireless communication link using orthogonal FDM (OFDM) over faded channel and space time block code

Abstract

Analysis will be carried out for an OFDM wireless communication system using space time block code (STBC) at the transmitter and considering the effect and the wireless channel like delay spread and fading. The analysis will include the effect of imperfect timing recovery at the output of the receiver. The expression for Bit Error Rate with STBC and timing error will be developed. Performance results will be evaluated numerically. Performance degradation due to imperfect timing synchronization will be determined.
