where x1 , x 2 are the modulated symbols.

The received vector after first time slot is

The received vector after second time slot is

- x•2

x*1

Where [ Y11 , Y12 ] T denotes the received vector in the first time slot by antennas 1 and 2
respectively.
[ y21 , y22 ] T denotes the received vector in the second time slot by antennas 1 and 2 respectively.

hij denotes Channel impulse response from j th transmit antenna to i th receive antenna which

remains constant during the two time slots as discussed. [ n 11 , n 12 ] T denotes the AWGN noise
vector during time slot 1 and [ n21 , n 22 ] T denotes the AWGN noise vector during time slot 2.

Let us define Y =HX + N where Y =[Y11 Y12 •
