Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is the most important metric of any digital communication system. MIMO-OFDM systems designed with Alamouti Coding technique, using Error Control Coding schemes has been investigated under this study to achieve BER enhancement and scrutinized for Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) Channel with Inphase and Quadrature-phase (IQ) impairments. This paper details out the model developed using NI LabVIEW and discusses simulation results comparing the error control
