Insightful closed‐form formulas for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of quasi‐orthogonal space–time block codes in Rayleigh fading channels are presented. In addition, simple asymptotic expressions are proposed, from which the achievable asymptotic diversity orders are easily determined in the high signal‐to‐noise ratio regime. Finally, comparing analytical and simulation results, the accuracy of the derived analytical formulas is validated.
