Summary :

A diversity strategy is efficient to reduce the fluctuation of communication quality caused by fading. In order to further maintain the communication quality and improve the communication capacity, this paper proposes a two-dimensional diversity approach by serially-concatenating spectral precoding and power normalized-differential space time block coding (PN-DSTBC). Spectral precoding is able to take benefit from a frequency diversity effect without loss in spectral efficiency. In addition, PN-DSTBC is robust against serious phase noise in an extremely high frequency (EHF) band by exploiting a spatial diversity effect. However, there is a problem that a naive concatenation degrades the performance due to the imbalance of equivalent noise variances over transmit frequencies. Thus, we examine an equalized PN-DSTBC decoder as a modified approach to uniform equivalent noise variances over frequencies. The performance evaluation using computer simulations shows that the proposed modified approach yields the performance improvement at any modulation schemes and at any number of transmit frequencies. Furthermore, in the case of 64QAM and two transmit frequencies, the performance gain of the modified approach is 4dB larger than that of PN-DSTBC only at uncoded BER=10-4.
