Space-time/Frequency Coding (SFC) can achieve the spatial and multipath diversities for a MIMO-OFDM system by coding across multiple antennas and subcarriers. This thesis presents a family of space-time-frequency codes that achieve both full spatial and multipath diversities by using Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC).
