My apologies, first email was send with some HTML content.  
Hello:  
My name is Damian Miralles, I am a senior computer engineering  
students at the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. I am very  
interested inparticipating into the GSOC 2014 program and saw some of  
the ideas posted there by Gnu Radio. I have a previous experience  
working with GNU Radio developing customs blocks for SDR  
applications. The reason why I am writing is because I would like to  
migrate some of the experience I have gained during the last year into  
the GNURadio platform using the GSOC 2014 program.  
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
