I am doing a simulation of a Wi-Fi network in ProMan by WinProp, in which I observe that the simulator gives me information about the capacity of the channel in bits / s / Hz, but I would like to know, is it possible to know with what technique this capacity is calculated? , since I am shopping between some MIMO techniques such as Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Zero Forcing (ZF), for said channel capacity, but I would like to clarify about the simulated one to make a better comparison with that information.

    Hello Andres,

    From the page 589 of  "WinProp User Guide", we can find how WinProp calculates the channel capacity.

    Could you visit there to find out more about the channel capacity for the MIMO system?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jaehoon, I really appreciate your answer, it has been a great help. I would like to ask another question regarding the "WinProp User Guide", I have version 2020.0 and in the mentioned page I have not been able to locate the equation of the image, or in any other page, is it required to have the "WinProp User Guide" of another version ?

    Hi, Andres

    I have WinProp 2020.1.1 version installed on my PC. 

    Could you search "channel capacity" on the user guide?

    (The page number can be different by each version.)

    If you can't, please update Feko/WinProp to the latest version.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jaehoon. I really appreciate his contributions, they were of great help. I updated my version of WinProp and I have been able to clarify my doubts.

    Thank you.
