WAVPY: A GNSS-R open source software library for data analysis and simulation

摘要

Due to the launch of a number of dedicated GNSS-R satellite missions during the last years, there is a potential raise of research interest in this field. This paper presents an analysis and simulation tool for the GNSS-R community: wavpy. More than just a simple waveform simulator, this library provides a set of object-oriented classes dedicated to each of the different elements that characterize a GNSS-R scenario. Then, the user can focus on just a particular piece of analysis or, by exploiting their combined synergies, to perform a more comprehensive simulation exercise.
