Abstract

A full-diversity space–frequency block code (SFBC) for single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems is presented. The code is designed for two transmit antennas and preserves the low envelope fluctuations of SC signals. The good performance of the proposed scheme over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, both in static and in high-speed mobility scenarios, is proved.
