12Bit DAC LUT code for use with high antenna gain not included in Win32 build about pluto-gps-sim-win32 HOT 2 CLOSED

The 12bit LUT was only for testing the IQ conversion and resulting RF spectrum. For 16bit a lower gain is required since generated IQ data for all satellites are summed up and then feed the DAC. Gain will be multiplied to each satellite IQ pair. So, when you gain is to high the IQ values will reach the 16bit max and the DAC will go in saturation, in turn the RF output signal gets distorted significantly.

The antenna itself has not much influence on signal generation. Of course for GPS you should have a RH circular polarized. My tests where performed mostly with a spectrum analyzer and when needed, with Pluto's OEM antenna (Jinchang).

Added your README request for compliance.

Thanks for your detailed response. Great work on your Pluto version. It is much appreciated!
