PRACH RTL TEST ENVIRONMENT
AXI4-Stream IQ Data Driver: Takes input stimuli generated by the MATLAB model and feeds them into the RTL signal processing chain.
C-Plane Section Type: 3 Message Driver: Processes C-Plane messages generated by the MATLAB model and feeds them into the RTL signal processing chain.
MATLAB Model-Based Reference: The PRACH Design and Verification Suite uses the MATLAB model as a reference, allowing for the comparison of outputs from sub-blocks with MATLAB references. This feature simplifies the debugging process and enhances verification accuracy.
Extensive Test Scenario Support: Provides RTL verification scenarios for all PRACH formats and indexes.
