  The production and acceleration of train of bunches with variable spacing in the ps/sub-ps range having ramped intensity profile are interesting to drive a plasma wave in the so-called resonant Plasma Wake-Fields Acceleration (r-PWFA)*. At SPARC_LAB trains having a constant intensity profile have been produced for the first time by using a shaped photo-cathode laser combined with the use of the velocity bunching compression technique**,***,****. If the sub-bunches have ramped intensity, i.e. they have different charge density, the space charge force affects differently the development of the longitudinal phase space of each one of them during the compression. In this paper we present preliminary simulations for the compression of a ramped train of bunches. The differences between the beam dynamics for a train of bunches having constant intensity profile and the ramped train are underlined. We discuss also the possibility of properly tuning the shaping of the photocathode laser to balance the space charge effect.
