Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with space-frequency block coding (SFBC) have a high computational complexity since the number of inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs) required scales in direct proportion to the number of antennas at the transmitter. This paper proposes to generate the SFBC encoded signals of the various antennas in time domain by exploiting the time-domain signal properties and signal correlations among the various transmitter antennas, achieving a significant reduction in computational complexity. In particular, it is demonstrated that the time domain SFBC encoded signals of the various antennas can be obtained from the time domain signal of the first antenna. Therefore, the proposed scheme requires only one IFFT irrespective of the number of transmission antennas. In addition, a low-complexity peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme is presented based on the proposed transmitter architectures.
