A space time trellis coding scheme with linear precoding (STTC-LP) for transmit beamforming is presented in this paper. The upper bounds on pairwise error probability (PEP) over quasi-static and fast fading channels are derived, and new design criteria are proposed. It is shown that STTC-LP can achieve not only the maximum received SNR but also a significant coding gain. Based on the design criteria the optimum 4-state codes are derived by the systematic code search. Simulation results show that the new 4-state STTC-LP is superior by about 1.5dB and 4.0dB at the FER of 1.0e-2 over quasi-static fading channels, and by about 8dB and 10dB at the BER of 1.0e-4 over fast fading channels, to the beamforming and Tarokh-Seshadri-Calderbank (TSC) codes, respectively.
