 * \details
 * This block implements a dynamic channel model simulator that can
 * be used to help evaluate, design, and test various signals,
 * waveforms, and algorithms.
 *
 * This model allows the user to set up an AWGN noise source, a
 * random walk process to simulate carrier frequency drift, a random
 * walk process to simulate sample rate offset drive, and a frequency
 * selective fading channel response that is either Rayleigh or Ricean
 * for a user specified power delay profile.

     * \param samp_rate   Input sample rate in Hz
     * \param sro_std_dev  sample rate drift process standard deviation per sample in Hz
     * \param sro_max_dev  maximum sample rate offset in Hz
     * \param cfo_std_dev  carrier frequnecy drift process standard deviation per sample
     in Hz
     * \param cfo_max_dev  maximum carrier frequency offset in Hz

     * \param N   number of sinusoids used in frequency selective fading simulation
     * \param doppler_freq    maximum doppler frequency used in fading simulation in Hz
     * \param LOS_model   defines whether the fading model should include a line of site
                          component. LOS->Rician, NLOS->Rayleigh
     * \param K Rician K-factor, the ratio of specular to diffuse power in the model
     * \param delays  A list of fractional sample delays making up the power delay profile
     * \param mags    A list of magnitudes corresponding to each delay time in the power
     delay profile
     * \param ntaps_mpath The length of the filter to interpolate the power delay profile
     over. Delays in the PDP must lie between 0 and ntaps_mpath, fractional delays will be
     sinc-interpolated only to the width of this filter.
     * \param noise_amp Specifies the standard deviation of the AWGN process
     * \param noise_seed A random number generator seed for the noise source.
