Hi there,

for those folks interested in GPS (and Galileo) signal processing with
USRP+DBSRX and GNU Radio related stuff, please take a look at the
publications available at http://gnss-sdr.org/documentation/publications

We use three VOLK-based correlators for GPS L1 and five for Galileo. An
active antenna is also desirable, but any cheap ($20) commercial part
should work well.

Best regards,
Carles
