Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Offset Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (OFDM/OQAM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme that can be
considered as an alternative to the conventional Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) for transmission over multipath
fading channels. In this paper, we investigate the combination of the OFDM/OQAM
with Alamouti system with Time Reversal (TR) technique. TR can be viewed as a
precoding scheme which can be combined with OFDM/OQAM and easily carried out in
a Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) context such as Alamouti system. We
present the simulation results of the performance of OFDM/OQAM system in SISO
case compared with the conventional CP-OFDM system and the performance of the
combination Alamouti OFDM/OQAM with TR compared to Alamouti CP-OFDM. The
performance is derived by computing the Bit Error Rate (BER) as a function of
the transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
