The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus of an OFDMA system and a method thereof. The transmitting apparatus includes an encoder for modulating data to be transmitted into data or a preamble by using a desired modulation scheme; an S/P converter for converting serial data output from the encoder to parallel data; a preamble or pilot generator for generating a pilot or preamble; a multiplexer for multiplexing the data or preamble output from the preamble or pilot generator and the parallel data; an antenna selection controller for dividing an entire band of a signal output from the multiplexer into groups formed of neighboring symbols in time domain and neighboring subcarriers in frequency domain, and selecting a transmit antenna for each group; an IFFT unit for turning off subcarriers in groups selected by the antenna selection controller and subcarriers in unselected groups by the antenna selection controller and performing IFFT; for each antenna, a P/S converter for converting parallel signals transmitted from the IFFT unit into serial signals and inserting a cyclic prefix; and for each antenna, a D/A converter and filter for converting a digital signal transmitted from the P/S into an analog signal and filtering the analog signal, and transmitting the filtered analog signal through an antenna of an R/F end. Accordingly, when a transmitting end does not know a channel state of a transmit antenna, a transmit antenna is selected for an allocation unit and data is transmitted through the selected transmit antenna when a transmitting end of an OFDMA system using multiple antennas does not know a channel state, and accordingly a diversity gain can be acquired without making any changes in allocation of subcarriers according to the number of antennas, a transmission structure of a pilot of the transmitting end, an allocation structure of the transmitting end, and a receiving end. In addition, when the transmitting end does know the channel state, an antenna having the best channel state is selected for each group, and accordingly, performance degradation due to feedback delay of channel state information and inter-antenna interference due to an increase of mobility of the terminal can be prevented.
