    function [modulated_coded_symbols]=space_time_coding(modulated_symbols,code_name,rate,num_code,zero_padding)

%% Space_time_coding
%
%Encode an input stream into a specified space time block code.
%
%Input:     - modulated_symbols: a vector of symbols (if the length does not match with the STBC
%           structure you must use the zero_padding option)
%           - code_name: A string corresponding to the code name
%           ('SM','Alamouti','OSTBC3','STBC3','QOSTBC4','OSTBC4','STBC4','OSTBC5','OSTBC6','OSTBC7')
%           - rate: a string with the code rate '1/2','3/4','1','N'
%           - zero_padding (optionnal): if there is a 5th input and if the length does not
%           match with the space time bloc coding structure, than the modulated symbols are padded with zero. 
%
%Output:    modulated_coded_symbols
%           
%Example: 
%>> C=space_time_coding([1+i,2+2*i],'Alamouti','1',1)
%C =
%   1.0000 + 1.0000i  -2.0000 + 2.0000i
%   2.0000 + 2.0000i   1.0000 - 1.0000i
%
%Remarks: 
%To obtain the code matrix, enter for example:
%>>space_time_coding([1:4]+i*[1:4],'OSTBC4','3/4',1)
%
%To obtain the code length and the number of transmitter used by a STBC,
%enter: size(space_time_coding(0,'OSTBC4','3/4',1,1))
