The main goal of this work is to provide a unified theory of QSTBCs for four transmit antennas and one (or more) receive antennas. The thesis consists of two main parts: In the first part we analyze the QSTBCs transmission without any channel kno

This function calculates the ergodic and outage capacity of a MIMO Rayleigh channel considering no CSIT (equal power allocation) and perfect CSIT (waterfilling power allocation). In both cases perfect CSIR is assumed. The channel is assumed to b
