Abstract
A recently proposed simple transmit diversity (STD) scheme was shown to hav e the same performance as the classical maximal-ratio combining (MRC) recei ver under the assumption that the amplitude and phase of the Rayleigh faded channel are known exactly at the receiver. An analysis and comparison of t he performance degradations of the STD scheme and MRC receiver due to error s in estimating the channel parameters are presented. It is shown that the bit error rate degradation for the STD scheme can be significantly worse th an that of an MRC receiver.
