In this paper, we apply multiple antennas to MB-OFDM UWB system for high performance. With an emphasis on a preamble design
for multi-channel separation, we address the channel estimation in MB-OFDM system with multiple antennas. By properly designing
each preamble for multiple antennas to be orthogonal in time domain, the channel estimation can be applied to the MB-OFDM
proposal for IEEE 802.15.3a standard in the case of more than 2 transmit antennas. By using the multi-antenna scheme and proposed
channel estimation technique, the reliability and performance of MB-OFDM system can be improved.
