Abstract

In this correspondence, we prove that the optimal normalized diversity product of 2 × 2 lattice-based diagonal space-time block codes with Gaussian integer (or QAM) signal constellations, i.e., Z[i], and any generating matrices of complex entries (not necessarily algebraic extensions of Z[i] as commonly used) is 1 /√ 3.. This result implies that 2 × 2 lattice-based diagonal space-time block codes with Gaussian integer signal constellations and generating matrices of entries from quadratic algebraic extensions of Z[i] have already reached the optimal normalized diversity product.
