The existing coders used in the fading channels are designed under the assumption that the ideal interleaver, which removes the fading correlation of the channel, is used. With the non-ideal interleaver of finite size, however, the performance of the coded modulation system degrades rapidly when the fading is very slow. A new method which achieves interleaving effects by switching the transmitter antennas is suggested to improve the performance even in the slow fading. The performance of the new system is analyzed. The results show significant performance improvement in the slow fading and at least no deterioration in the fast fading over the existing systems.
