Question: 5 . Alamouti Coded OFDM Consider an Alamouti - coded OFDM system with two transmit and one receive antennas. Consider symbols X 1 , 2

5. Alamouti Coded OFDM Consider an Alamouti-coded OFDM system with two transmit and one receive antennas. Consider symbols X 1,2 respectively on the k th 1(k), X 2(k) loaded onto transmit antennas subcarrier of the OFDM system in the first OFDM symbol. Consider a frequency-selective channel with channel taps h(0), h(1),...,h(L 1). Answer the questions that follow. (a) Describe the operation of the Alamouti-coded OFDM system above, i.e., the transmission on each subcarrier and the decoding operation at the receiver. (b) If the transmitpower is P per subcarrier, noise power 2 n , findtheinstantaneousreceive SNRexpression for each symbol.
