This paper focuses on the study of Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBCs) and their performance in wireless communication systems. The primary emphasis is placed on bit error rate (BER) analysis and channel estimation for both Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes and Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (QOSTBCs). We first present the necessary background materials and describe different implementations of space-time block codes for various configurations of transmit and receive antennas. The performance of these codes is evaluated using Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) and Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation schemes. Furthermore, the analysis includes the evaluation of OSTBCs under different channel models, such as the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and the Rayleigh fading channel. Comparative results are provided for BER performance and maximum diversity gain under these channel conditions.
