how to evaluate log-det?

I am looking at the capacity of MIMO system and come across to this term called 'log-det'. Anyone have information how to do this mathematically? Most importantly, what is that (i know it is log- determinant...)

how to evaluate log-det?

Hi,

it can be a logarithmic detector.
In that case, it is a device whose instantaneous output is a voltage proportional to the log of the instantaneous envelope.
Have you more details (e. g. block diagram, etc.)?
