The spin density wave and its temperature dependence in oxypnictide are studied in a three-band model. The spin susceptibilities with various interactions are calculated in the random phase approximation (PPA). It is found that the spin susceptibility peaks around the M point show a spin density wave (SDW) with momentum (0, π) and a clear stripe-like spin configuration. The intra-band Coulomb repulsion enhances remarkably the SDW but the Hund's coupling weakens it. It is shown that a new resonance appears at higher temperatures at the Γ point indicating the formation of a paramagnetic phase. There is a clear transition from the SDW phase to the paramagnetic phase.
