ABSTRACT

This research focused on empirical study of signal recovery capacity of a space diversity scheme using MatLab polar plot under a fading environment of Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) wireless radio system using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Space diversity gain amplifier in space-time diversity context. This addresses channel fading issues without altering RF spectrum allocation and bandwidth limits. Consequently, a CDMA model was proposed and implemented. Using the Orthogonal Space Time Block Code space diversity (OSTBC) model, the Array Pattern (AP) and the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance over multipath communication channel conditions were evaluated, while showing how receiver diversity can improve channel interference with polar diagrams. The polar plot shows diversity gain recovery. BER performances evaluated for the channel conditions demonstrate the merits of the CDMA model offering over 90% efficiency and multiple of 10-6 for space diversity scheme.
