Abstract

The inherent characteristic of hybrid carrier (HC) scheme based on the weighted-type fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) is revealed. The proposed linear combination of single carrier (SC) and multicarrier’s (MC) characteristics is helpful to balance the conflicting requirements and achieve the comparative analysis of SC/MC. As an example, analytical SER/BER expressions of HC system with zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization are derived. In addition, the derived BER expressions are extended to multi-input systems. A unified framework of space time block code (STBC) HC scheme is proposed with two WFRFT modules at the transmitter or receiver, where STBC-SC and STBC-MC systems are the special cases of the novel structure.
