Drawback of the Space Time Block Code (STBC) is, for complex constellations, full rate and full diversity design exist only for two transmit antennas. In this paper, we propose a novel closed loop Quasi Orthogonal Space Time Block Code (QOSTBC) system based on cyclotomic lattices for four transmit antennas. It is a full rate and full diversity design where the information bits are mapped into four dimensional (4-D) lattice points. The bit error and symbol error performance of the system are evaluated by simulation.
