  \brief Space Time block Codes (STC) class

  Implements space time block codes using Hassibi's model. The following codes
  are available:
  - V-BLAST_MxN
  - imp_V-BLAST_MxN
  - Alamouti_2xN
  - Switched_Alamouti_4xN
  - Double_Alamouti_4xN
  - Jafarkhani_4xN
  - Golden_2x2
  - Damen_2x2
  - 34ortho_3xN
  - 36LD_3xN
  - 37LD_3xN
  - 39LD_3xN

  The code name and the constellation size are always needed to generate the
  requested code. The number of emission antenna and the channel uses are required
  by some codes to be provided by the user as input parameters, for other codes
  they have predefined values and don't need to be specified by the user.
  The number of symbols per block is always set internally. Therefore, it is
  recommended that after setting up the generator matrices (either through the
  constructor or through the setup() method) to call getters in order to obtain
  the number of emission antenna, the channel uses and the number of symbols per
  block.

  Usage example:
  \code
  STC stc(code_name, const_size);
  nb_em_antenna = stc.get_nb_emission_antenna();
  channel_uses = stc.get_channel_uses();
  symb_block = stc.get_nb_symbols_per_block();
  //symbol generation
  enc_symb = stc.encode(symb);
  \endcode
