Below is a description of the two possible projects that I would to propose to the GNU Radio group, I will be really thankful if anyone would let me know if it's of GNU Radio's interest.
1- GPS L1-L2/GALILEO Signal Generation
The GNU-Radio project includes excellent libraries for SDR, but
sometimes a piece of hardware is required to test the code or develop
new concepts. The idea behind this project would be to provide the GNU
Radio project with the ability of generate raw GPS/Galileo signal through software. Those
generated signals would be realistic in terms of noise addition,
multipath, interference etc. With this capability the user of GNU Radio
would be able to control certains parameters in the data simulated and
test if the algorithms developed for reception are suitable. I could
easily offer more details on how to create it, here it is only offer a
basic idea.
2- GPS toolkit.
Create GPS receivers capable of performing the GNSS lock, the kit would
include the basic approach for GPS signal acquisition, which include the
"Parallel Code Search", "Parallel Frequency Search", etc. In addition I
plan to include new techniques for GNSS signal acquisition based on the
work developed in:

Please I know the mailing list have a lot of work to due but If someone
would let me know if it is of GNU Radio interest would be perfect.
Thanks and Cheers
