Abstract:
The Golden code is a 2×2 space-time code that achieves the best known performance with all constellations carved from Z[i]. In this letter, we present the construction of a new coding scheme for 2M-ary biorthogonal pulse position modulations (BPPM) with M≥4. The proposed code satisfies all of the construction constraints of the Golden code and it has the additional advantage of being totally real making it suitable for low cost carrier-less ultra-wideband terminals. Namely, this totally real construction achieves full rate and full diversity with the best known coding gain and without any shaping losses for 2M-BPPM with M≥4.
