Single-carrier frequency-domain equalization for space-time block-coded transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels

We propose an Alamouti-like scheme for combining space-time block-coding with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization. With two transmit antennas, the scheme is shown to achieve significant diversity gains at low complexity over frequency-selective fading channels.
