W-CDMA Uplink Digital Modulation for Receiver Test
Generating a Single PRACH Signal
Setting Up the LF Output as the AICH Signal
This task sets up the LF output so the results of the AICH trigger signal can be viewed on the PSA display
(see
“Viewing the PRACH Message Using an AICH Trigger” ). By following the steps in this task, the
message part will appear intermittently after each displayed preamble as the AICH trigger is received.

Viewing the PRACH Message Using an AICH Trigger
This procedure guides you through configuring the PSA for making a spectrum analysis measurement. This
is being done to familiarize you with the different measurement modes that exist for the PSA. You could use
the W-CDMA mode, time domain measurement, to achieve the same results.
1. Preset the spectrum analyzer.
2. Select the spectrum analysis mode.

You now see the message part moving across the display as the AICH trigger is received after each
preamble.
Figure 16-18 shows the message part as it appears after the third preamble transmission.
