W-CDMA Uplink Digital Modulation for Receiver Test

Understanding the PRACH

values to meet your testing needs. Which ever method you use, the highest power value is used as your data
part power reference relative to the control part power.

NOTE

When a random power value is used, the beta value is replaced by a hyphen, since it cannot
be defined by the beta values.

Using the relative power formula, a control beta of five would result in a relative control power value of

−

9.54 dB. If the relative data power is 0.00 dB (beta of 15), this would mean that the data part power is

9.54 dB higher than the control part power. If the relative data power is

−

9.54 dB and the relative control

power is 0.00 dB, this would mean that the data part power was 9.54 dB lower than the control part power.
When the betas are the same value, this means that the control part and data part powers are the same power
levels. This results in a 3 dB (two times the control part power) increase in the message part power.

To calculate the data part absolute power, perform the following steps where

1. Calculate the absolute power for the control part.

Cntl

dBm

= Pre

dBm

+ Pp-m

The preamble power is represented by the

Max Pwr

field on the ESG.

2. Calculate the relative power difference between the two relative power values.

Pwr

diff

= Data

pwr - Cntlpwr

3. Calculate the absolute power for the data part.

Data

dBm

= Cntl

dBm

+ Pwr

diff

Do not confuse the control power as a means of adjusting the control part power. Remember the control part
power is the sum of the preamble and the Pp-m values. The control power merely serves as a reference for
the data part power relative to the control part power.

demonstrates the message part power

when the data part has a greater influence.

Pwr

diff

= difference between relative power values

Cntl

pwr

= relative control power
