GNSS codes, signals and spectrum generation for Matlab

All the contents were developed for the passive remote sensing group (RSLab) as a part of the Remote Sensing Laboratory, a research line of the CommmSensLab Group at the Signal Theory and Communications Department (TSC) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).

The first version of this program was uploaded in the IEEE Remote Sensing Code Library (RSCL) with DOI: 10.21982/M8F59K

New versions of this program may be found at GitHub.
