1. A transmitter with three transmit antennas in a communication system using a space-time-frequency block coding scheme, the transmitter comprising:
a pre-coder for pre-coding a symbol vector of an input symbol sequence by multiplying the symbol vector by e, θ being a phase rotation angle, reconstructing the symbol vector multiplied with e and outputting pre-coded symbols c1, c2, c3, and c4, given as,
c1=x1+jy3
c2=x2+jy4
c3=x3+jy1
c4=x4+jy2
where ck represents a kth pre-coded symbol, xk represents a real term of kth symbol within the symbol vector multiplied with e, and jyk represents an imaginary term of kth symbol within the symbol vector multiplied with e; and
a space-time-frequency block code (STFBC) mapper for selecting an STFBC using a permutation matrix in which the following matrices A, B and C are arranged in a predetermined order, mapping the pre-coded symbols to the transmit antennas according to the selected STFBC, and transmitting the mapped symbols through the transmit antennas,
