Abstract
A novel synthetical transmit diversity, namely Prerake joint with Space-Time Trellis Coded Modulation (STTCM), for TDD DS-CDMA system is proposed in this paper. Space-Time Code (STC) is applied under the multipath fading circumstance. Prerake is used in stead of Rake to overcome multipath fading for the simplicity of the receiver configuration. Through computer simulation, the performance of our proposed scheme in multipath fading can be better than that of just STC is used, the taps of the Prerake should be chosen to be equal to the multipath number in the matter of minimum mean square error. A new constellation (8APK) is presented to construct a kind of STC that achieves better performance than that of 8PSK.
