Summary: 
In this letter, Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) technique combined with Space Time Block Code (STBC) is analyzed in the case of two transmit antennas. A multicarrier transmit diversity scheme with antenna selection is proposed. The transmission power is allocated onto the antenna which has larger channel gain instead of the two antennas uniformly. Simulation results show that the new scheme has considerable performance gain compared to the Alamouti's scheme.
