Generating a Single PRACH Signal
3. Set the power ramp for multiple preambles.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
Ramp Step
field.
b. Press

dB
.
This setting enables a power ramping when multiple preambles are used. Each successive preamble
transmission from the second to the last will increase in power by 7 dB.
4. Select the number of transmitted preambles.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
Num of Pre
field.
b. Press

Enter
.
The number of transmitted preambles is now four, which means that the PRACH initial/starting power
level (first preamble) will be
−
41 dBm. The fourth preamble will be transmitted at the PRACH power
level set in step 2b or
−
20 dBm. This means the first three preambles will have power levels that are in
increments of 7 dB less than the fourth preamble. The initial power (first transmitted preamble power
level) is calculated as follows:
3 x 7 dB = 21 dB
−
20 dBm - 21 dB =
−
41 dBm initial power
NOTE
When setting the
Max Pwr

Num of Pre fields
, they need to be done
in the order shown. If you do not set them in the order shown, errors may occur and values
may automatically change to accommodate limits.
