Abstract We present a complex, full rate space-time block code for four transmit antennas. Using carefully tailored constellation phase rotations, we show this code achieves full diversity for specialized PSK-based constellations. The optimal receiver for the new code decouples the symbol detection problem into pairs of symbols, thus greatly reducing complexity.

Introduction
The Alamouti code [1], remarkable for having an elegant and simple linear receiver, became a paradigm in space-time block coding (STBC). Alamouti’s idea for
