  The microbunching instability in the LINAC of a FEL facility has always been an issue which may degrade the quality of the electron beam. As the result, the whole facility may not be working properly. Therefore, learning how to control and reduce the instability is the key to the success of a FEL project. Shanghai soft X-ray FEL project (SXFEL) has just been granted, once it is built, it will be the first X-ray FEL facility in China. In this article, detailed study will be given based on the design parameters of the facility to gain better understanding and control over the possible microbunching instability in SXFEL, which is important to the success of the project.
