      FieldValueDescription
      ReferenceNoiseLevelnumeric scalar

      Reference noise level in the incoming signal, returned as a numeric scalar.

      The info function calculates the reference noise level value by correlating the incoming signal with a C/A-code which is not present in the signal. The function uses G1-code to generate the C/A-code. The reference noise level is the peak of such correlation values.
