It targets frequency bands below 11 GHz [3], known as the Stanford University Interim (SUI) channels for broadband wireless access.

It is designed to increase the data rate in wireless communication systems by achieving multiple channels occupying the same bandwidth in a multipath environment. The main drawback associated with this technology is the coupling between the radiating elements. A MIMO antenna system merely acts as an antenna array if the coupling between the radiating elements is high. For this reason, strong decoupling between the radiating elements should be achieved, in order to utilize the benefits of MIMO technology.

Huge research has been made and WiMAX came up as one of the leading technologies which is still in its experimental phase and expected to come and capture the market soon. However the 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz frequency bands allocated to WiMAX falls adjacent to the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band and thus creates two serious coexistence issues. First problem is to address radio interfaces that are located on two independent platforms and still possess the potential for mutual interference owing to close proximity to each other.

The initial system analysis employs a space-time coded OFDM transmitter over a multipath Rayleigh channel, and a receiver which uses a selection combining diversity technique. The performance of this combined scenario is characterised in terms of the bit error rate and throughput. A novel four element QOSTBC scheme is introduced, it is created by reforming the detection matrix of the original QOSTBC scheme, for which an orthogonal channel matrix is derived. This results in a computationally less complex linear decoding scheme as compared with the original QOSTBC.
