The invention relates to a user channel satellite capture method based on a WCDMA (Wideband Code Diversion Multiple Access) system, comprising the following steps of: firstly screening access users out according to signing information of a PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) access preamble on a wave beam access slot; then determining that a wave beam that each access user locates is a principle wave beam or a spanning wave beam; if the wave beam is the principle wave beam, determining the search starting time and a search interval of DPCH (Dedicated Physical Channel) channels corresponding to the access users by utilizing signing phases, searching the single-path retardation of the DPCH channels corresponding to the access users in the principle wave beam in the search interval, and then carrying out scrambling code tracking on the DPCH channels; and if the access users are the spanning wave beam access users, distributing the DPCH channels in the principle wave beam, determining the search starting time and a search interval of the DPCH channels corresponding to the spanning wave beam access users in the principle wave beam by taking the reference time of the principle wave beam as a reference, searching the single-path retardation of the DPCH channel corresponding to the spanning wave beam access users in the principle wave beam in the search interval, and then carrying out scrambling code tracking on the DPCH channels.
