ABSTRACT 

The authors discuss the importance of using the singular value decomposition (SVD) in computing the capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and in estimation the channel gain from the transmitter to the receiver. Examples that show how the SVD simplifies computing the MIMO channel capacity are discussed. Numerical results that show what factors determine the performance of using SVD in channel estimation are also discussed
