Generating a Single PRACH Signal
4. Press
Mode Setup
to return to the top-level real-time W-CDMA menu.
A default PRACH signal output has a single preamble and a message part with a 20 ms transmission time
interval (TTI). Setting the trigger output to occur on the PRACH pulse lets the spectrum analyzer or other
measuring equipment that is externally triggered, start its sweep at the beginning of the PRACH signal.

Setting Up the E4440A PSA for the PRACH Signal
This procedure guides you through setting up the PSA for making a time domain measurement. Refer to
Figure 16-1 on page 447 for connecting the ESG to the E4440A PSA. Figure 16-12 on page 464 shows the
ESG output signal on the PSA display.
